The most advanced .claude/ configuration framework for Claude Code that provides:

• Meta-Commands - Create custom commands from templates in <2 minutes
• Skill Orchestration - Multi-skill collaboration with semantic matching

cp -r claude-starter/templates/.claude your-project/.claude

Option 4: Discover on SkillsMP

Browse 40+ skills at SkillsMP and install individually:

Usage

Skills auto-activate based on context:

You: "How do I create a Stripe subscription?"
Claude: [Activates Stripe skill and provides implementation]

You: "Build a Whop membership backend"
Claude: [Activates Whop and provides code]

Optional: Pull Documentation

Skills work immediately with built-in knowledge. Optionally pull comprehensive API docs for enhanced accuracy:

# Install docpull
brew install pipx && pipx install docpull

# Pull documentation (stored locally, never committed)
docpull https://docs.stripe.com -o .claude/skills/stripe/docs
docpull https://supabase.com/docs -o .claude/skills/supabase/docs

Important notes:

• Documentation is optional - skills work without it
• Docs are stored in .claude/skills/*/docs/ (gitignored, never committed)
• Total size: ~8GB across all skills
• Pulled once, persistent across sessions
• Use CLI for easier management: npx claude-starter docs pull

Advanced: Custom doc location

# Pull to /tmp (lost on restart, auto-cleanup)
docpull https://docs.stripe.com -o /tmp/claude-docs/stripe

# Or use symlink for separation
mkdir -p ~/claude-docs/stripe
ln -s ~/claude-docs/stripe .claude/skills/stripe/docs
docpull https://docs.stripe.com -o ~/claude-docs/stripe

TOON Format

Compress JSON/data files by 30-60%:

/convert-to-toon api-response.json
/analyze-tokens data.json
