Claude Code is powerful the moment you install it. But the thing that makes it feel like a real teammate isn't the model — it's the configuration you build up around it: custom slash commands, specialist subagents, and hooks that run at the right moments.

The problem is that a fresh install is a blank .claude/ folder. You get all that value only after you read the docs and write the config yourself.

So here's the config I now copy into every repo. Everything below is a plain file you can paste, read, and change. I'll show you real commands, a subagent, and a hook — with the actual code and why each part is there — so you can rebuild this yourself in an afternoon.
