See\nLICENSE file for complete terms.\n\n---\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### Option 1: CLI - Instant Project Creation (2 minutes)\n\n```bash\nnpx create-claude-project\n```\n\n![Claude Code Sidekick](public/social-card-v3.png)\n\nFollow the interactive prompts to scaffold a production-ready project with\nClaude Code Sidekick configured.\n\n### Option 2: Manual Setup (5 minutes)\n\n```bash\n# Clone the repository\ngit clone https://github.com/dylanburkey/claude-code-sidekick.git\ncd claude-code-sidekick\n\n# Copy to your project\ncp -r .claude/ /your-project/\ncp PROJECT_STARTER.md /your-project/\n\n# Configure with Quick Start\n# Edit PROJECT_STARTER.md, then run:\n/quick-start\n```\n\n---\n\n## What is Claude Code Sidekick?\n\nTraditional AI coding tools give you **suggestions**. Claude Code Sidekick gives\nyou **systems**.\n\nWhile Cursor, Windsurf, and Copilot excel at code completion and inline\nsuggestions, they leave you to figure out project structure, workflow\nautomation, and system integration. Claude Code Sidekick provides a complete,\nopinionated development framework that transforms how you build software with\nAI.\n\n### Core Features\n\n- **Professional CLI** - `npx create-claude-project` for instant project\n  generation\n- **50+ Specialized Agents** for every development task\n- **35+ Pre-Configured MCP Integrations** (databases, cloud, analytics,\n  payments)\n- **32+ Automated Hooks** for quality, testing, and deployment\n- **Declarative Configuration** - Just flip TRUE/FALSE switches\n- **Spec-Driven Development** with EARS notation\n- **Complete Documentation** for every component\n\n**Setup Time:** 2 minutes with CLI, 5 minutes manual **Configuration:** Choose a\npreset or use TRUE/FALSE flags **Result:** Production-ready development\nenvironment\n\n---\n\n## CLI Features\n\n![CLI Preview](public/social-card-v3.png)\n\nThe `create-claude-project` CLI scaffolds production-ready projects with:\n\n- **8 Production Presets** - Static, Astro, React, Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit,\n  Full Stack, Custom\n- **Feature Selection** - Database, auth, analytics, deployment configs\n- **Automatic Setup** - All files, dependencies, and configurations\n- **Claude Code Integration** - .claude/ directory with agents, hooks, and rules\n- **Git Ready** - Initialized with .gitignore and initial commit\n- **Zero Config** - Everything works out of the box\n\n[View CLI Documentation →](cli/README.md)\n\n---\n\n## Key Differentiators\n\n### 1. Declarative Configuration\n\n**Others:** Write complex configuration files, install tools manually, configure\neach integration **Sidekick:** Mark what you want as TRUE, run one command, done\n\n```markdown\n## MCP Configuration\n\n- **Neon Database**: `TRUE`\n- **Cloudflare**: `TRUE`\n- **GitHub**: `TRUE`\n- **Stripe**: `TRUE`\n\n## Hooks Configuration\n\n- **Pre-Commit Validation**: `TRUE`\n- **Auto Format on Save**: `TRUE`\n```\n\nRun `/mcp-setup` and `/hooks-setup` - your entire development environment is\nconfigured.\n\n### 2. Agent Library\n\n**Others:** General-purpose AI that tries to do everything **Sidekick:** 50+\nspecialized agents, each expert in their domain\n\n- **Code Generation Agents** - Generate components, APIs, migrations, configs\n- **Task Automation Agents** - Handle builds, deployments, CI/CD\n- **Testing Agents** - Create tests, run audits, validate accessibility\n- **Documentation Agents** - Generate docs, maintain READMEs, update changelogs\n- **Blockchain Agents** - Smart contracts, DApps, Web3 integration\n\nEach agent includes real examples, best practices, and MCP integration.\n\n### 3. MCP Integration at Scale\n\n**Others:** Manual MCP setup, one server at a time **Sidekick:** 35+\npre-configured MCP providers across 10 categories\n\n- **Databases**: Neon, Supabase, Turso, Pinecone\n- **Cloud**: Cloudflare, AWS, Vercel, Railway\n- **Development**: GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Sentry\n- **Analytics**: GA4, PostHog, Axiom, Datadog\n- **Payments**: Stripe, PayPal, Shopify\n- **AI/ML**: OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, Replicate\n- **And 20+ more...**\n\nEach provider includes:\n\n- JSON configuration\n- Environment variable templates\n- Setup documentation\n- Agent integration examples\n\n### 4. Automated Quality \u0026 Compliance\n\n**Others:** Manual testing, linting, and deployment **Sidekick:** 32+ hooks\nautomate your entire workflow\n\n- **Git Hooks** - Validate commits, enforce standards, run tests\n- **File Hooks** - Auto-format, sort imports, update docs\n- **Build Hooks** - Pre-build validation, post-build analysis\n- **Deployment Hooks** - Pre-deploy checks, rollback automation\n- **Agent Hooks** - Task notifications, error handling\n\nAll configurable with TRUE/FALSE flags.\n\n### 5. Spec-Driven Development\n\n**Others:** Start coding, figure it out as you go **Sidekick:** Define\nrequirements first with EARS notation\n\n```markdown\n## Functional Requirements\n\n### Event-Driven\n\n- WHEN user clicks submit THE SYSTEM SHALL validate all fields\n- WHEN validation passes THE SYSTEM SHALL send data to API\n\n### State-Driven\n\n- WHILE form is submitting THE SYSTEM SHALL disable submit button\n- WHILE user is authenticated THE SYSTEM SHALL show logout option\n\n### Error Handling\n\n- IF network request fails THEN THE SYSTEM SHALL retry up to 3 times\n```\n\nClear, testable, unambiguous requirements that become your implementation\nroadmap.\n\n---\n\n## Comparison\n\n### vs. Cursor\n\n**Cursor Strengths:**\n\n- Excellent AI pair programming\n- Natural language code editing\n- Context-aware suggestions\n\n**Sidekick Advantages:**\n\n- Complete project structure\n- Pre-configured integrations (35+ MCPs)\n- Automated workflows (32+ hooks)\n- Specialized agents for every task\n- Declarative configuration\n- Reusable across all projects\n\n**Use Together:** Cursor for coding + Sidekick for structure and automation\n\n### vs. Windsurf\n\n**Windsurf Strengths:**\n\n- Flow-based development\n- Multi-file editing\n- Contextual awareness\n\n**Sidekick Advantages:**\n\n- Standardized workflows\n- Pre-built agent library\n- MCP integration system\n- Quality automation\n- Production-ready configurations\n- Team collaboration features\n\n**Use Together:** Windsurf for flow + Sidekick for structure and deployment\n\n### vs. Copilot\n\n**Copilot Strengths:**\n\n- Fast autocomplete\n- Wide IDE support\n- Simple setup\n\n**Sidekick Advantages:**\n\n- Complete development framework\n- Project structure and organization\n- Integration management\n- Quality enforcement\n- Documentation automation\n- Deployment pipelines\n\n**Use Together:** Copilot for suggestions + Sidekick for everything else\n\n---\n\n## What's Included\n\n### Core Components\n\n```\n.claude/\n├── commands/           # /project-planner, /task-planner, /mcp-setup, /hooks-setup, /quick-start\n├── agents/            # Specialized AI agents for different tasks\n├── hooks/             # 32+ automated development hooks\n│   ├── definitions/   # Pre-configured hook definitions\n│   ├── templates/     # Create custom hooks\n│   └── examples/      # Example configurations\n├── mcp/               # MCP integration system\n│   ├── providers/     # 35+ pre-configured MCP providers\n│   ├── templates/     # Custom MCP guide\n│   └── configs/       # Generated configurations\n├── rules/             # Development standards\n│   ├── code-style.md\n│   ├── accessibility.md\n│   └── documentation.md\n└── steering/          # Project-specific guidance\n    ├── product.md\n    ├── tech.md\n    └── structure.md\n```\n\n### CLI Package\n\n```\ncli/\n├── bin/create-claude-project.js  # CLI entry point\n├── src/\n│   ├── index.js                  # Interactive prompts\n│   ├── templates.js              # 8 preset configurations\n│   ├── scaffold.js               # Project scaffolding\n│   └── utils.js                  # Helper functions\n```\n\n### Agent Library\n\n```\nagent-library/\n├── code-generation/   # Generate components, APIs, configs\n├── task-automation/   # Build, deploy, CI/CD automation\n├── testing/          # Unit tests, E2E, accessibility audits\n├── documentation/    # API docs, READMEs, changelogs\n├── blockchain/       # Smart contracts, DApps, Web3\n└── templates/        # Create custom agents\n```\n\n---\n\n## Documentation\n\n### Getting Started\n\n- [CLI Guide](docs/guides/cli-guide.md) -
