claude-config

My Claude Code configuration - settings and skills.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/brianlovin/claude-config.git
cd claude-config
./install.sh

What's included

Settings

• settings.json - Global permissions and preferences
• statusline.sh - Custom statusline showing token usage

Skills

Reusable capabilities that Claude can invoke (use /skill-name in Claude):

| Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | agent-browser | Browser automation for web testing and interaction | | favicon | Generate favicons from a source image | | knip | Find and remove unused files, dependencies, and exports | | rams | Run accessibility and visual design review | | reclaude | Refactor CLAUDE.md files for progressive disclosure | | simplify | Code simplification specialist | | deslop | Remove AI-generated code slop |

Managing your config

# See what's synced vs local-only
./sync.sh

# Preview what install would do
./install.sh --dry-run

# Add a local skill to the repo
./sync.sh add skill my-skill
./sync.sh push

# Pull changes on another machine
./sync.sh pull

# Remove a skill from repo (keeps local copy)
./sync.sh remove skill my-skill
./sync.sh push

Safe operations with backups

All destructive operations create timestamped backups:

# List available backups
./sync.sh backups

# Restore from last backup
./sync.sh undo

Validate skills

./sync.sh validate

Skills must have a SKILL.md with frontmatter containing name and description.

Testing

Tests use Bats (Bash Automated Testing System).

# Install bats (one-time)
brew install bats-core

# Run all tests
bats tests/

# Run specific test file
bats tests/install.bats
bats tests/sync.bats
bats tests/validation.bats

Tests run in isolated temp directories and don't affect your actual ~/.claude config.

Local-only config

Not everything needs to be synced. The install script only creates symlinks for what's in this repo - it won't delete your local-only skills.

Machine-specific permissions accumulate in ~/.claude/settings.local.json (auto-created by Claude, not synced).

Creating your own

Fork this repo and customize! The structure is simple:

claude-config/
├── settings.json      # Claude Code settings
├── statusline.sh      # Optional statusline script
├── skills/            # Skills (subdirectories with SKILL.md)
├── agents/            # Subagent definitions
├── rules/             # Rule files
└── tests/             # Bats tests
