🚀 Quick Start

$3

``bash

Install globally

npm install -g code-assistant-claude

Initialize in your project

cd your-project
code-assistant-claude init
`

🚀 Code Assistant Claude Setup

Step 1/7: Project Analysis
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Detected:
✓ TypeScript React Application
✓ Node.js 18.x

`
✅ Code Assistant Claude configured successfully!

Token Savings Estimate:
• MCP Code Execution: 98.7% reduction on tool calls
• Progressive Skills: 95% reduction vs always-loaded
• Symbol System: 30-50% in compressed mode
• Total Average: 60-70% per session

Try it:
• "Create a login form" → Auto-activates frontend-design + Magic MCP
• "/sc:research microservices" → Deep research with Tavily + Sequential
• "/sc:business-panel @strategy.pdf" → 9-expert strategic analysis
`

$3

Execute MCP tools with 98.7% token reduction:

`bash

Execute with natural language intent

code-assistant-claude mcp-execute "read package.json and analyze dependencies"

Specify language (TypeScript or Python)

code-assistant-claude mcp-execute "fetch API data" --language python

Custom timeout and tool limits

code-assistant-claude mcp-execute "complex workflow" \
--timeout 60000 \
--max-tools 10

Use custom tools directory

code-assistant-claude mcp-execute "transform data" --tools-dir ./my-mcp-tools
`

Token Reduction Example:
`
Traditional MCP: ~150,000 tokens/session
Code Generation: ~2,700 tokens/session
Reduction: 98.2% ✅

Output:
✅ Result: Analysis complete with 45 dependencies (3 outdated)
📊 Metrics:
Execution time: 156ms
Memory used: 42M
Summary tokens: 187

💡 Token Reduction: 98.8% vs traditional MCP
`

$3

See exactly what's happening under the hood:

`bash

Normal mode (default)

code-assistant-claude init

Verbose mode - detailed progress + timing

code-assistant-claude init --verbose

Debug mode - full internal operations + JSON dumps

code-assistant-claude init --debug

With timestamps

code-assistant-claude init --debug --timestamps

Quiet mode - errors only (for CI/CD)

code-assistant-claude init --quiet
`

Debug Output Example:
`
[CLI] 🐛 Log level: debug
[CLI] 🐛 Node version: v22.21.1
[CLI] 🐛 CWD: /tmp/my-project

[ProjectAnalyzer] 🐛 Starting project analysis
[ProjectAnalyzer] [1/3] Detecting tech stack
[ProjectAnalyzer] ◆ Detected: React Application
[ProjectAnalyzer] 🐛 Tech stack: {
"languages": ["typescript"],
"frameworks": ["react"],
"tools": ["vite", "vitest"]
}
[ProjectAnalyzer] ◆ Project analysis completed in 28ms
`

When to Use:
- 🟢 Normal: Everyday use
- 🔵 Verbose (--verbose): Understanding what the framework is doing
- 🟣 Debug (--debug): Troubleshooting, development, or learning internals
- ⚪ Quiet (--quiet): CI/CD pipelines, automated scripts

`
User: "Create a responsive navigation bar"
↓
Task Analyzer:
├─ Type: UI Development
├─ Complexity: Moderate
└─ Domains: [frontend, accessibility]
↓
Intelligent Router selects:
├─ Skills: frontend-design
├─ MCPs: magic, playwright
├─ Command: /sc:scaffold
└─ Mode: orchestration
↓

Token Usage: 5,500 (vs 50K traditional) ✅
`

12 Task Types Supported:
- Code Implementation
- Code Review
- UI Design
- Research
- Business Analysis
- Testing
- Debugging
- Requirements Discovery
- Documentation
- Deployment
- Security Audit
- Refactoring

$3

MCP Code Execution (Anthropic Engineering Pattern):

`
Traditional MCP:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
All tools loaded upfront: 150,000 tokens
Intermediate results: 50,000 tokens
Total: 200,000 tokens
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Code Execution Approach:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Progressive discovery: 2,000 tokens
Execution results: 200 tokens
Total: 2,200 tokens
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Reduction: 98.7% ✅
Cost Savings: $5.70 per session (Sonnet 3.5)
`

How it works:
1. MCP tools presented as TypeScript/Python functions
2. Agent writes code instead of making tool calls
3. Data processed in execution environment
4. Only summaries flow through model context

$3

6 Behavioral Modes:

- Brainstorming 🧠 - Socratic dialogue for requirements discovery
- Deep Research 🔬 - Multi-hop reasoning with evidence-based synthesis
- Orchestration ⚡ - Optimal tool selection and parallel execution
- Task Management 📋 - Hierarchical organization with persistent memory
- Token Efficiency 🎯 - Symbol systems for 30-50% compression
- Introspection 🤔 - Meta-cognitive analysis and pattern recognition

Business Panel 💼:
- 9 Expert Thought Leaders (Christensen, Porter, Drucker, Godin, Kim/Mauborgne, Collins, Taleb, Meadows, Doumont)
- 3 Analysis Modes (Discussion, Debate, Socratic)
- Strategic synthesis across frameworks

$3

Skills load only when needed:

`yaml
skill_lifecycle:
metadata_phase:
tokens: 30-50 per skill
always_loaded: true
contains: [name, description, triggers]

activation_phase:
tokens: 1,500-3,000 per skill
loaded_when: matched to task
contains: [full instructions, examples]

resource_phase:
tokens: variable
loaded_when: skill needs them
contains: [scripts, templates, references]
`

Example:
- 20 skills installed
- Metadata: 1,000 tokens total (always loaded)
- Only 2 activated for current task: 4,000 tokens
- vs 40,000 tokens if all loaded (90% savings)

$3

Multi-Layer Protection:

1. Sandboxing - Docker/VM/Process isolation
2. Validation - Code pattern detection, complexity analysis
3. Approval Gates - User confirmation for high-risk operations
4. Audit Logging - Comprehensive execution tracking
5. Network Isolation - Whitelist/blacklist policies
6. PII Tokenization - Privacy-preserving data operations

Example:
`typescript
// PII never enters model context
const leads = await salesforce.query(...);
// Model sees: [EMAIL_1], [PHONE_1], [NAME_1]
// Real data flows: Salesforce → execution env → Salesforce
`
