claude-starter

Production-ready Claude Code configuration with 40+ skills, TOON format support, and skill marketplace integration.

What is this?

A .claude/ configuration directory for Claude Code that provides:

• 40 Skills - Auto-activating expertise (Stripe, Supabase, Aptos, Expo, Plaid, Whop, Shopify, iOS)
• TOON Format - 30-60% token savings for tabular data
• 7 Commands - TOON conversion, skill installation, token analysis
• Templates - Build your own skills and commands

This is configuration, not code. No library, no framework, no runtime dependencies.

# Install to current project
npx create-claude-starter

# Install specific skills
