Shared Setup Patterns

Shared Setup Patterns

Purpose: Common configuration patterns and templates shared across all project setup commands.

Used by: /setup:python, /setup:javascript, /setup:existing, /setup:explore, /setup:user

Token Impact: Provides ~1,700 tokens of shared templates loaded once, avoiding duplication across 5+ commands (saves ~3,200 tokens through reuse).

Contents

This skill contains ONLY patterns shared by multiple setup commands:

1. Security Hooks - PreToolUse and PostToolUse hooks for all project types
2. Claude Framework Structure - .claude/ directory templates and memory files
3. Framework Detection - Patterns for auto-detecting project languages and frameworks

Language-specific templates (Python, JavaScript, etc.) are kept inline in their respective commands.

---

1. Security Hooks

Located: templates/security_hooks.json

Comprehensive security and quality hooks configuration:

• PreToolUse: Blocks dangerous commands (rm -rf, sudo, chmod 777)
• PostToolUse: Auto-formats code (ruff, prettier, eslint), validates JSON/markdown

Used by: ALL setup commands that create projects

---

2. Claude Framework Structure

Located: templates/claude_framework/

Templates for .claude/ directory structure:

• structure.md - Directory layout and purpose
• memory_templates/ - project_state.md, dependencies.md, conventions.md, decisions.md
• work_structure.md - Work directory organization

Used by: ALL setup commands

---

3. Framework Detection Patterns

Located: templates/framework_detection.md

Patterns for auto-detecting:

• Languages: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust
• Frameworks: FastAPI, Django, Flask, Next.js, React, Express
• Tools: pytest, Jest, Mocha, go test, cargo test

Used by: /setup:existing, /setup (if dispatcher exists)

---

Usage Pattern

Commands reference this skill in frontmatter:

skills: [shared-setup-patterns]

Then access specific templates:

• Security hooks: Load from templates/security_hooks.json
• Framework structure: Generate from templates/claude_framework/ templates
• Detection: Use patterns from templates/framework_detection.md

---

Design Principle

Only truly shared content lives here. Language-specific templates (Python pyproject.toml, JavaScript package.json) stay inline in their respective commands to avoid skill overhead for single-use templates.

This keeps each command self-contained while sharing common infrastructure patterns.
