Hi HN!

So I built Claude Code Kit - a CLI that brings auto-activating skills to your tech stack. It makes Claude Code so more reliable.

Background:

A few days ago, u/JokeGold5455 (https://www.reddit.com/user/JokeGold5455/) on Reddit shared an amazing (https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1oivjvm/claude_co...) post about their 6 months using Claude Code with custom skills, agents, and hooks. The "Holy Trinity" approach really resonated with me.

The problem the post highlighted stuck with me: skills just sit there unless you remember to use them.

What's a "kit"?

A kit is a framework-specific package (Next.js, React, Prisma, Express, etc.) that includes:

- Skill with best practices and patterns - Auto-activation triggers - skills activate when you mention keywords, edit specific files, or use framework terminology - Documentation organized by topic - Detection logic - automatically detects frameworks in your project

One command installs everything:

npx github:blencorp/claude-code-kit

It detects your stack, asks which kits to install, copies hooks/agents/skills to .claude/, and configures skill-rules.json for auto-activation.

Current kits (10):

Frontend: Next.js, React, shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS, MUI, TanStack Router, TanStack Query

Backend: Express, Node.js, Prisma

This is brand new (literally a few hours old). I'm sure there are bugs and rough edges. Would love to get feedback on the approach, kit contributions (Vue, Angular, Svelte, Django, FastAPI, etc.) and issue requests for kits you'd like to see

Thanks again to u/JokeGold5455 for the inspiration!
