Claude Strike

Spec-driven Claude Code, dropped into your repo in one command.

Overview

For developers using Claude Code who want an opinionated starting point:

- A strict CLAUDE.md ruleset
- Five focused subagents — review, architect, simplify, TDD, security
- spec-kit wired up so non-trivial work goes through /specify → /plan → /tasks before any code is written

Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (Git Bash or WSL).

Quick install

From inside the repo you want to set up:

What it does

- Clones claude-strike into ~/.cache/claude-strike (or $CLAUDE_STRIKE_CACHE)
- Copies files into your repo
- Runs specify init --here --ai claude to add spec-kit
Re-running is safe. Existing files are backed up to .bak. before being overwritten.

From a local checkout

Requirements

- A git repo — run git init first if needed
- uv on your PATH — see docs. If missing, files still install and spec-kit is skipped with a warning.
