What is it?

Claude Code can be extended in five ways: MCPs (connectors to other apps), skills, hooks (actions that run automatically, like formatting code after every edit), subagents (specialist helpers) and slash commands. Knowing which ones you need is the hard part.

This skill reads your project and recommends the top one or two of each that suit it, with a reason for each. For a website it might suggest the Playwright MCP for testing and a hook that blocks edits to secret files. It only reads and recommends. It doesn't change anything until you say so.

Install in Claude Code

In Claude Code run /plugin install claude-code-setup@claude-plugins-official, then open your project and ask "help me set up Claude Code".
