Claude Leverage

Make any repo AI-first - write sustainable code from the start, or refactor a legacy codebase to prepare it for agent-driven development.

Convention layer (AGENTS.md) is also read by any AGENTS.md-aware tool - Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot…

A small, opinionated AI-coding-agent suite for Claude Code and Codex CLI: deterministic security hooks, cross-tool skills, and self-maintaining conventions that keep a repo safe for the next agent to modify.

Complements skills-based plugins like the official superpowers plugin; it does not try to replace them.

The problem it solves

Shipping at velocity with AI agents is easy. Shipping in a way that the next agent (human or AI) opening the repo in six months can still safely modify is the hard part. That second part is what the hooks, conventions, and skills here automate - not just at session start, but continuously as the repo grows.

Three properties guide every decision in this repo:

1. Security by default - deterministic hooks, no model needed.
2. Self-maintaining as the repo grows - non-blocking nudges surface maintenance debt early.
3. Cross-tool by design - same AGENTS.md, same SKILL.md, same hook scripts in Claude Code and Codex. Author once.

Who it's for

• Freelancer on client repos - you ship features across many client codebases through agents, and each one has to stay safe to hand back. The security hooks and AGENTS.md conventions travel with you.
• Team inheriting a legacy repo - you've opened a six-month-old codebase with no docs. /repo-doctor scores its AI-readiness and names the highest-leverage gaps; the bootstrap skills make it navigable fast.
• Solo builder shipping at velocity - you want speed without the repo rotting into unmaintainable AI-slop. Self-maintenance nudges plus ADR/session memory keep intent intact.
