claude-prime

Open source Claude Code CLI for developers who want repeatable AI coding workflows without the setup mess.

Claude Prime installs the missing layer around Claude Code: reusable skills, slash-command workflows, rules, hooks, project context, and interactive setup helpers. It is designed for the real pain points teams hit with AI coding assistants: too much manual setup, repeated prompts, inconsistent output, and poor onboarding across repositories.

npx claude-prime install --version 1.2.0
