Claude Code Tools Installer — Development skill for Claude Code


Claude Code Tools Installer

Safe interactive installers for a curated Claude Code tools stack on macOS, Linux, and Windows, including Claude Code skills, plugins, MCP servers, memory utilities, harnesses, developer tools, and cost-monitoring helpers.

This repository is designed for developers and AI consultants who want a repeatable Claude Code setup without blindly installing every popular third-party extension.

What This Installs

The platform installers help install or queue setup steps for 30 Claude Code-related tools from Charlie Hills' curated list. They classify each item before installing it because these tools are not all the same kind of software.

The installer separates tools into:

• Claude Code skills
• Claude Code plugins
• MCP servers
• CLI tools
• Memory and context utilities
• Harnesses and agent frameworks
• Cost and monitoring tools
• Reference repositories and catalogs

The default installation is intentionally conservative. It installs or queues only a practical starter set:

• Superpowers
• gstack
• taste-skill
• Anthropic skills
• planning-with-files
• Repomix
• Playwright MCP
• Claude HUD

Why This Exists

Many Claude Code extension lists mix together skills, plugins, MCP servers, CLIs, memory tools, and full frameworks. Installing them all with one copied command is risky.

The problem is not that Claude Code lacks useful extensions. The problem is that the extension ecosystem is fragmented. A single screenshot or social post may include:

• Skills that belong in ~/.claude/skills
• Claude Code plugins that must be installed from inside Claude Code
• MCP servers that register external tool access
• Global npm CLIs that change a machine's command environment
• Persistent memory systems that add hooks or background state
• Agent frameworks that change planning, delegation, and execution style
• Catalogs or reference repositories that are useful but no
