Prerequisites

To maximize the functionality of the Claude Code Starter Kit, ensure the following tools and dependencies are installed:

• Beads by Steve Yegge (Required): Beads streamlines development workflows and provides additional context for hooks. Install using Beads GitHub repository and follow the setup instructions.

• Convex (Optional): For Convex projects, Convex hooks are included. Install Convex at Convex.

Good Practices

Follow these best practices to keep your automation and workflow streamlined:

1. Maintain high test coverage:

   • Aim for over 90% coverage on critical business logic.
   • Write tests for new functionality and update tests when fixing bugs.

2. Use Sequential Deployments:

   • For large-scale projects, deploy changes incrementally and verify after each stage.

3. Code Reviews:

   • Leverage tools such as pull request templates to ensure code consistency.
   • Keep PRs small and atomic (focusing on a single task or improvement).

4. Periodic Hook Maintenance:

   • Update hooks through the update.sh script.
   • Review hook output logs to ensure components like ESLint and TypeScript keep running error-free.
