CLAUDE CODE SETUP

Claude Code Setup is the personal development environment for AI-assisted engineering at Understory Labs. It's not a project with a URL — it's the infrastructure layer that everything else runs on top of. The core is a library of **25+ global skills**: reusable Claude Code commands that codify workflow patterns (`/plan`, `/brainstorm`, `/commit`, `/log`, `/debug`, `/review`, and more). Combined with MCP servers (GitHub integration, Context7 documentation lookup) and hooks (git event handlers, environment protection), it creates an environment where common operations are single commands. The **opusplan model profile** is a key architectural detail: Opus during planning and architecture sessions, Sonnet during execution — so the most capable model is used where reasoning depth matters, and the faster model handles implementation. This setup is the scaffold for every other project in Understory Labs.
