Quick Start

1. Install

# Claude Code Plugin (recommended)
# First time: add the marketplace, then install
/plugin marketplace add michtio/craftcms-claude-skills
/plugin install craftcms-claude-skills@craftcms-claude-skills

# Or via Vercel Skills CLI
npx skills add michtio/craftcms-claude-skills --all

# Or clone manually
git clone https://github.com/michtio/craftcms-claude-skills.git ~/.claude/craftcms-claude-skills
cd ~/.claude/craftcms-claude-skills && bash install.sh

2. Set Up Your Project

Open Claude Code in your Craft project and say:

Set up Claude for this Craft project

The craft-project-setup skill detects your project type (plugin, site, module, hybrid, or monorepo) and generates a tailored CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules/ directory.

3. Start Building

The skills trigger automatically based on what you're doing. Just describe what you need:

Build a blog with topics, authors, and a flexible body builder using CKEditor

Claude loads the right skills, follows Craft conventions, and uses the correct field handles, DDEV commands, and project config workflow.

Example Prompts

Just describe what you need — skills trigger automatically and produce high-quality results. A few to show the range, grouped by domain:

Content modeling & architecture

Plan the content architecture for a multi-language corporate site with
news, team members, office locations, and a service catalog. We need
English, German, and French with subfolder-per-language routing.

Plugins & modules

Build a custom element type for "Job Listings" with postDate/expiryDate
status, a categories relation for departments, and a CP edit page with
field layout designer.

Control panel & author experience

I need a modal dialog for my Craft plugin that opens when clicking
"Add Item", shows a form with name and handle fields, POSTs to my
plugin's save action, and closes on success. Make it keyboard accessible.

Front-end & Twig

Create an atomic button component that supports links, form submits,
and disabled states. It needs size variants and a loading spinner option.

Build a member area with registration, login, password reset, and
profile editing. Users should be in the "Members" group and only see
content in the gated section.

Hosting & deployment

Set this project up to deploy on Servd: Servd asset storage, static
caching with Blitz in reverse-proxy mode, and the dedicated queue
runner. Document the constraints in CLAUDE.md.

Configure Redis for cache, sessions, and mutex in our Craft project.
We're running DDEV locally and deploying to a VPS with Redis installed.
