Basecamp — Development skill for Claude Code

basecamp

  

A production-ready Claude Code setup. Global CLAUDE.md, coding rules, per-project memory, and token optimization.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/janmaaarc/basecamp.git
cd basecamp
bash setup.sh ~/Documents/your-vault

Then open `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`, fill in your stack, and follow [Setup](#setup) for tools and plugins.

What This Is

After building multiple AI and software projects with Claude Code, I found myself repeating the same setup every time. This is that setup, packaged into a reusable foundation: engineering standards, project memory, coding rules, token optimization, and safety mechanisms. Built and refined through real projects, not a template made for show.

Most Claude Code setups are minimal. This one is not. It covers:

• Global instructions Claude follows on every project
• Karpathy coding principles (think before coding, surgical changes)
• Commit, branch, and PR conventions
• Per-project memory via Obsidian (PROJECT, MISTAKES, CONTRACT, REQUIREMENTS files)
• Requirements checklist filtered by project type (landing/app/saas/api/automation)
• Token optimization via RTK and Headroom
• Safety hooks (block dangerous commands, scan secrets)
• Persistent memory across sessions via claude-mem
• Security scanning of .claude/ config via agentshield
