Claude Code Basecamp

A workspace for Claude Code users who work across multiple repositories. Clone your repos, get shared skills and commands out of the box, add your own.

How It Works

This is a meta-workspace. You clone your project repositories into the repositories/ folder and run Claude Code from the workspace root. Claude automatically gets access to all skills and commands. Your repos stay independent — they push to their own remotes, the workspace never touches them.

    data-pipeline/
  skills/                 # AI skills — activate automatically when relevant
  commands/               # Slash commands — you trigger with /command
  .claude/                # Claude Code hooks and config

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/redhat-community-ai-tools/claude-code-basecamp.git

Tell Claude which repo to focus on — "I'm working on my-api" or type /focus to pick from a list. Skills activate automatically. Commands are there when you need them.

What You Get

Skills (activate automatically)

Skills are knowledge that Claude carries in the background. You don't trigger them — they activate when relevant to what you're doing.

Skill	What it does
security-check	Detects credential leaks, insecure patterns, LLM-specific risks
python-patterns	Dotenv conventions, API clients, LLM parsing, testing, and pipelines
refactoring-patterns	Measurement-driven refactoring with before/after metrics
verification-loop	Powers /verify, /quality-gate (invoked on demand)
brainstorming	Design exploration before implementation
update-docs	Detects docs made stale by a code diff, applies targeted updates
ci-guard	Flags repos under repositories/ that have no CI workflow
semantic-versioning	Reads conventional commits to pick the next major/minor/patch
cost-speed-meter	Opt-in timing of commands, suggests faster feedback loops
