+# Contributing to claudex-setup
+
+## Adding a New Check
+
+1. Open `src/techniques.js`
+2. Add an entry to the `CHECKS` array:
+   ```js
+   { id: 'my-check', category: 'Quality', weight: 10, label: 'Description',
+     test: (ctx) => fs.existsSync(path.join(ctx.root, 'some-file')),
+     fix: 'Add some-file to your project root.' }
+   ```
+3. The `test` function receives a context object with `root`, `stack`, and `files`
+4. Run `npm test` to verify
+
+## Adding a New Template
+
+1. Open `src/setup.js`
+2. Add a template function to `TEMPLATES`:
+   ```js
+   TEMPLATES['my-template'] = (ctx) => `file content for ${ctx.stack}`;
+   ```
+3. Register it in the `generateFiles()` function with its output path
+4. Templates receive the same context object as checks
+
+## Adding a New Stack
+
+1. Open `src/techniques.js`
+2. Add an entry to the `STACKS` object:
+   ```js
+   STACKS['my-framework'] = {
+     detect: (ctx) => ctx.files.includes('my-framework.config.js'),
+     label: 'My Framework',
+     testCmd: 'my-framework test',
+     lintCmd: 'my-framework lint'
+   };
+   ```
+3. Stack detection runs before checks, so checks can reference `ctx.stack`
+
+## Research Backing
+
+Every check should trace back to a technique in the [CLAUDEX catalog](https://github.com/DnaFin/claudex). When adding checks, reference the technique ID in a comment:
+
+```js
+// CLAUDEX: T-042 (Mermaid diagrams reduce token usage by 73%)
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+npm test
+```
+
+Tests run all checks against fixture projects in `test/fixtures/`.

-## What it checks
-
-| Check | Impact | What |
-|-------|--------|------|
-| CLAUDE.md | Critical | Project instructions for Claude |
-| Verification | Critical | Test/lint commands for self-checking |
-| Hooks | High | Automation on file edits |
-| Commands | High | Custom slash commands |
-| Mermaid diagram | High | Architecture visualization (73% token savings) |
-| XML tags | High | Structured prompts |
-| Skills | Medium | Domain-specific workflows |
-| Rules | Medium | Path-specific coding conventions |
-| Agents | Medium | Specialized subagents |
-| MCP servers | Medium | External tool integration |
-| Permissions | Medium | Security configuration |
-| .gitignore | High | Track .claude/ in version control |
+All generated files are tailored to your detected stack. A React + TypeScript project gets different hooks, commands, and CLAUDE.md content than a Python + FastAPI project.
+
+## Stack Detection
+
+Automatically detects and tailors configuration for:
+
+| Category | Frameworks |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Frontend | React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Svelte |
+| Backend | Node.js, Python, Django, FastAPI, Ruby |
+| Mobile | Flutter, Swift, Kotlin |
+| Systems | Rust, Go, Java |
+| Language | TypeScript, JavaScript |
+| Infra | Docker, Kubernetes |
+
+Detection is based on package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, go.mod, pubspec.yaml, Gemfile, build.gradle, Package.swift, and other standard manifest files.

+npx claudex-setup --help             # Show help
 ```
 
-## Stack Detection
+## Backed by Research
+
+Every check and template is derived from the [CLAUDEX](https://github.com/DnaFin/claudex) research catalog — a systematic audit of 1,107 verified Claude Code techniques across 13 research categories. This includes findings from all 73 official Claude Code documentation pages, community reports, and hands-on experiments.
 
-Automatically detects: React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Python, Django, FastAPI, Node.js, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Docker — and tailors recommendations.
+The knowledge base is continuously updated. Run `npx claudex-setup` periodically to pick up new checks and improved templates.
 
-## Why
+## Requirements
 
-Claude Code is powerful but most projects are barely optimized for it. A proper CLAUDE.md, hooks, and skills can **3-5x your productivity**. This tool applies the knowledge from [CLAUDEX](https://github.com/DnaFin/claudex) — a research catalog of 972 verified Claude Code techniques.
+- Node.js 18+
+- Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows
+- No global install needed (npx handles it)

Custom Commands\n\nStop typing the same prompts. Create `/test`, `/deploy`, `/review` in `.claude/commands/`.\n\n### 5.

Path-Specific Rules\n\nDifferent conventions for frontend vs backend files in `.claude/rules/`.\n\n### 7.

+**Title:** I built a tool that audits your project for Claude Code optimization — scores you 0-100
+
+**Body:**
+After cataloging 972 Claude Code techniques and testing 773 of them, I built a CLI that checks if your project is actually set up to get the most out of Claude Code.
+
+Most projects score around 10-20/100. After running setup, they jump to 70+.
+
+```
+npx claudex-setup
+```
+
+It checks for: CLAUDE.md, hooks, custom commands, skills, agents, Mermaid diagrams, XML tags, path rules, MCP config, permissions, and more.
+
+Then `npx claudex-setup setup` auto-creates everything that's missing, tailored to your stack (React, Python, TypeScript, etc).
+
+Zero dependencies. No API keys. Runs entirely local.

+GitHub: https://github.com/DnaFin/claudex

+**Title:** Your Claude Code project is probably running at 10% efficiency. Here's how to check.
+
+**Body:**
+I spent weeks cataloging every Claude Code feature, technique, and best practice — 972 total, 773 tested with real evidence.
+
+Turns out most projects are missing basic stuff that makes a huge difference:
+- No CLAUDE.md (Claude doesn't know your project conventions)
+- No hooks (no auto-lint, no auto-test)
+- No custom commands (repeating the same prompts manually)
+- No Mermaid diagrams (wasting 73% more tokens on prose descriptions)
+
+Built a quick checker:
+```
+npx claudex-setup
+```
+
+Scores your project 0-100, tells you exactly what to fix, and can auto-apply everything.

+**Title:** 972 Claude Code Techniques: What I Learned Building the Most Comprehensive Catalog
+
+**Body (excerpt):**
+I set out to catalog every single Claude Code capability, technique, and best practice. 39 research cycles later, I have 972 items — 773 tested with real evidence.
+
+Here are the top 10 things most developers are missing:
+
+1. **CLAUDE.md** — Claude reads this at the start of every session. Without it, Claude doesn't know your build commands, code style, or project rules.
+
+2. **Mermaid diagrams** — A Mermaid architecture diagram saves 73% tokens compared to describing your project in prose.
+
+3. **Hooks** — Auto-lint after every edit. Auto-test before every commit. Hooks fire 100% of the time, CLAUDE.md rules fire ~80%.
+
+4. **Custom commands** — `/test`, `/deploy`, `/review` — package your repeated workflows.
+
+5. **Verification loops** — Tell Claude how to verify its own work. Include test commands in CLAUDE.md.
+
+6. **Path-specific rules** — Different conventions for frontend vs backend files.
+
+7. **XML tags** — `<constraints>`, `<validation>` in CLAUDE.md = unambiguous instructions.
+
+8. **Custom agents** — Security reviewer, test writer — specialized subagents for focused tasks.
+
+9. **Skills** — Domain-specific workflows that load on demand, not every session.
+
+10. **MCP servers** — Connect Claude to your database, ticket system, Slack.
+
+I packaged this into a CLI that checks your project:
+```
+npx claudex-setup
+```

+The #1 thing you're probably missing: CLAUDE.md
+
+It's a file Claude reads at the start of every session. Without it, Claude doesn't know your:
+- Build commands
+- Code style
+- Testing framework
+- Project architecture
+
+Takes 2 minutes to create. Impact: massive.

+#2: Mermaid diagrams in CLAUDE.md
+
+A few hundred tokens of Mermaid syntax conveys what takes thousands of tokens in prose.
+
+73% token savings = faster responses, lower cost, better context.

+#3: Hooks > CLAUDE.md rules
+
+CLAUDE.md instructions = ~80% compliance
+Hooks = 100% enforcement
+
+Auto-lint after edits. Block commits without tests. Prevent force-push.
+
+Hooks are deterministic. Instructions are advisory.

+
+**Title:** Show HN: claudex-setup – Audit any project for Claude Code optimization (972 techniques)
+
+**Body:**
+I built a CLI tool that scores your project against Claude Code best practices.
+
+After researching 972 techniques (773 tested live), most projects score 10-20 out of 100 because they're missing basic optimizations like CLAUDE.md files, hooks, custom commands, and architecture diagrams.
+
+npx claudex-setup → audit (0-100 score)
+npx claudex-setup setup → auto-fix
+
+Detects your stack (React, Python, TS, Rust, Go, etc) and tailors recommendations.
+
+Zero dependencies, no API keys, runs locally.
