SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Activates a dev hermit in the current project by appending a dev workflow to CLAUDE.md, configuring git safety, suggesting dev heartbeat items, and installing companion plugins. Run once per project after /claude-code-hermit:hatch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Appends a dev workflow to CLAUDE.md to document and guide development tasks.
  • Configures git safety, recommended checks, and safety defaults for daily work.
  • Suggests a set of developer heartbeat items and routines to keep the project healthy.
  • Installs companion developer plugins to extend and streamline capabilities.
  • Designed to run once per project after hatch to bootstrap a consistent dev workflow.

Quick Start

Run /claude-code-hermit:hatch in your project to activate the dev hermit and initialize the dev workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a dev workflow in my project after initialization?▼

To bootstrap a dev workflow, you can run a project initialization command that appends development tasks to CLAUDE.md, configures git safety defaults, and installs companion plugins to standardize rituals across your codebase.

What is the best way to set up git safety checks for daily development work?▼

Setting up git safety involves configuring recommended checks and defaults during project initialization, which automates safety configurations and standardizes daily git operations directly within your local project files.

Can I use this project bootstrap method to standardize developer routines across multiple codebases?▼

Yes, running this project bootstrap process once per codebase standardizes developer routines by suggesting heartbeat items and writing consistent development workflows into CLAUDE.md for each repository.

Do I need the claude-code-hermit core to configure project plugins?▼

Yes, you need the claude-code-hermit core because the initialization process requires it to access local project files, read existing configurations, and install companion developer plugins correctly.

When should I not use an automated dev workflow initialization?▼

You should avoid automated dev workflow initialization if your project already contains complex custom CLAUDE.md configurations that might conflict with appended development tasks or suggested developer heartbeat items.

What does a dev hermit workflow do for project onboarding?▼

A dev hermit workflow accelerates project onboarding by documenting development tasks in CLAUDE.md, establishing git safety defaults, and installing plugins to provide a consistent, automated environment for new developers.
