# Claude Code Starter

You are setting up Claude Code configuration for a project. Follow the flow below to analyze the project and generate all `.claude/` configuration files.

## Step 1: Detect Project Type

Check if this is a **new project** (empty or <3 source files) or an **existing project**.

**For new projects**, ask the user these questions:
1. What are you building? (project description)
2. Primary language? (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, Java, Ruby, C#, PHP, C++)
3. Framework? (filtered by language — e.g. Next.js/React/Vue for TS/JS, FastAPI/Django/Flask for Python)
4. Package manager? (filtered by language)
5. Testing framework? (filtered by language, or "None")
6. Linter/Formatter? (filtered by language, or "None")
7. Project type? (Web App, API/Backend, CLI Tool, Library/Package, Mobile App, Desktop App, Monorepo, Other)

**For existing projects**, analyze the codebase:
- Read `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `Cargo.toml`, `go.mod`, `Gemfile`, or equivalent
- Detect languages, frameworks, package manager, testing, linting, formatting, bundler
- Identify architecture patterns, directory structure, code conventions

## Step 2: Create `.claude/settings.json`

Generate `settings.json` with permissions based on detected stack. Example:

Chinese De AI Writing

6

tangwenwen-md/chinese-de-ai-writing

中文去 AI 味:审稿、改稿、写作、流水线审核四种模式,专管简体中文。规则按证据分级:只有人机语料实测成立的特征才当硬规则,社区共识特征要"命中且空泛"才改,已被实测推翻的流行规则(调句长、删设问、删比喻、加口语词、加错别字、同义词替换)明确不用。 最高约束是信息守恒:不编造经历、病例、数字、引文,不改论断强度。医学内容尤其如此。 附 scripts/zh_ai_scan.py:量化扫描破折号、翻案腔、提示性冒号、段首零回指等 10 项实测特征,给出每千字密度和人机基线对照。 文体分档:小红书/社媒、口播稿与短剧台词旁白、科普、正式文书(标书、汇报、公文)、中文学术。 触发词:「去AI味」「去 AI 味」「AI味太重」「AI腔」「一眼AI」「像AI写的」「不像人话」「说人话」「改得像人写的」「这段有没有AI味」「帮我审一下AI味」「口播稿太书面」「台词不像人说的」「小红书文案太AI」「标书AI味」「中文humanize」。 也用于 Claude 自己产出中文正文(小红书文案、科普稿、台词、汇报)之后的自检。 不管:英文文本;以"降低知网/朱雀 AIGC 检测率"为唯一目标的改写(本 skill 改的是写法,不承诺过检测,也不用错别字、回译等对抗手段);视觉层面的 AI 味;剧情结构与留存。

Auto Itera

clfhaha1234/auto-itera

Use when the user wants to autonomously search for the best AI/engineering approach across competing candidates (prompts, models, retrieval strategies, architectures, algorithms) — give it a goal + candidate arms + success threshold, it runs the experiment to a defensible ship-or-kill verdict. Autonomously handles sourcing real production data, scoring arms in parallel, diagnosing per-row, sprint-and-generalize iteration, and writing the conclusion doc. Built-in safeguards (held-out test discipline, variance-floor checks, generalization gates) keep the verdict trustworthy.
