+# CLAUDEX-SETUP: Autonomous Project Framework
+
+## Project Definition
+
+**Product:** `claudex-setup` - CLI tool that audits and optimizes any project for Claude Code
+**Revenue model:** Free CLI (audience) + Premium newsletter (revenue) + Consulting (high-ticket)
+**Unfair advantage:** 972 verified techniques, 773 tested. Nobody else has this.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0: Launch Parameters
+
+- **Budget:** $0 initial (Claude Max already active, n8n running)
+- **Revenue target:** First $100 within 30 days
+- **Timeline:** MVP in 1 week, launch in 2 weeks
+- **Human provides:** npm account, GitHub repo, social media publish (or n8n automation)
+- **Claude handles:** Everything else
+
+---
+
+## Strategy: 3-Layer Revenue
+
+### Layer 1: Free CLI (Audience Builder)
+```
+npx claudex-setup → audit + setup your project for Claude Code
+```
+- Free, open source, zero friction
+- Goal: 1,000 downloads in first month
+- Converts to newsletter subscribers
+
+### Layer 2: Newsletter / Content (Recurring Revenue)
+```
+"Claude Code Weekly" - 5 techniques you missed this week
+```
+- Free tier: weekly email with 3 tips
+- Premium: daily tips + full technique database access ($10/month)
+- Source: 972 items = 2+ years of unique daily content
+
+### Layer 3: One-time Products (Cash Injection)
+```
+"The Claude Code Playbook" - complete guide, $29
+```
+- PDF/Notion guide built from catalog + by-usecase.md
+- Upsell from free CLI users
+- Zero marginal cost
+
+---
+
+## Build Plan (Priority Order)
+
+### Week 1: CLI MVP + GitHub
+- [ ] Build `claudex-setup` CLI (audit + setup)
+- [ ] Publish to npm
+- [ ] GitHub repo with good README
+- [ ] Test on 3 real projects
+
+### Week 2: Landing Page + Content Pipeline
+- [ ] Landing page (Vercel, free)
+- [ ] Newsletter setup (Buttondown free tier or similar)
+- [ ] Write first 10 newsletter issues from catalog
+- [ ] n8n automation: scheduled content publishing
+
+### Week 3: Launch
+- [ ] Post on Reddit r/ClaudeAI, r/ChatGPTPro
+- [ ] Post on Hacker News (Show HN)
+- [ ] Post on Dev.to, Medium
+- [ ] GitHub: add to awesome-claude-code lists
+- [ ] Product Hunt launch
+
+### Week 4: Measure + Iterate
+- [ ] Track: downloads, stars, subscribers, revenue
+- [ ] Analyze: which techniques get most engagement
+- [ ] Decide: continue / pivot / expand
+
+---
+
+## What I Need From You
+
+### One-time setup (5 minutes total):
+1. **npm account** - create at npmjs.com if don't have, give me auth token
+2. **GitHub** - create repo `claudex-setup` (or I use existing account)
+3. **Social media** - either:
+   - Give me access to post (Twitter/X, Reddit)
+   - OR: I prepare posts, n8n publishes automatically
+   - OR: I prepare posts, you copy-paste once a day (1 min)
+
+### When I ask for budget approval:
+- Domain (~$12) - optional, can start with github.io
+- Newsletter service - free tier available
+- Everything else: $0
+
+---
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+| Metric | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 4 | Month 2 | Pivot if below |
+|--------|--------|--------|--------|---------|---------------|
+| npm downloads | 50 | 200 | 500 | 2,000 | <100 at week 4 |
+| GitHub stars | 10 | 30 | 100 | 300 | <20 at week 4 |
+| Newsletter subs | 0 | 20 | 100 | 300 | <30 at week 4 |
+| Revenue | $0 | $0 | $50 | $500 | <$50 at month 2 |
+
+## Stop Criteria
+- Week 4: <100 downloads AND <20 stars → pivot approach
+- Month 2: <$50 revenue → reassess product-market fit
+- Month 3: <$200 revenue → stop or major pivot
+
+## Continue Criteria
+- Week 4: 500+ downloads → accelerate content
+- Month 2: $200+ revenue → invest in premium features
+- Month 3: $1,000+ revenue → dedicated infrastructure
+
+---
+
+## Decision Log
+
+| Date | Decision | Reasoning |
+|------|----------|-----------|
+| 2026-03-30 | Start with CLI + newsletter model | Lowest cost, fastest to market, leverages existing 972 items |
+| 2026-03-30 | Free CLI, premium content | CLI builds audience, content monetizes. Proven model. |
+| 2026-03-30 | n8n for automation | Already running on Docker, zero additional cost |

+# claudex-setup
+
+> Audit and optimize any project for Claude Code. Powered by 972 verified techniques.
+
+One command to make your project Claude Code-ready.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Audit your project
+npx claudex-setup
+
+# Apply recommended configuration
+npx claudex-setup setup
+```
+
+## What it does
+
+**Audit** scans your project and scores it against 12 critical Claude Code best practices:
+
+```
+  claudex-setup audit
+  ═══════════════════════════════════════
+  Detected: React, TypeScript
+
+  ██████████████░░░░░░ 71/100
+
+  ✅ Passing
+     CLAUDE.md project instructions
+     Hooks for automation
+     Custom slash commands
+     ...
+
+  🔴 Critical
+     Verification criteria in CLAUDE.md
+     → Add test/lint commands so Claude can verify its own work.
+
+  Run npx claudex-setup setup to fix automatically
+```
+
+**Setup** creates the missing configuration automatically:
+
+```
+  ✅ Created CLAUDE.md
+  ✅ Created .claude/hooks/on-edit-lint.sh
+  ✅ Created .claude/commands/test.md
+  ✅ Created .claude/commands/review.md
+  ✅ Created .claude/skills/fix-issue/SKILL.md
+  ✅ Created .claude/agents/security-reviewer.md
+
+  7 files created.
+```
+
+## 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 |
+
+## Options
+
+```bash
+npx claudex-setup                # Audit (default)
+npx claudex-setup audit          # Audit explicitly
+npx claudex-setup audit --verbose  # Show all recommendations
+npx claudex-setup audit --json   # JSON output
+npx claudex-setup setup          # Apply fixes
+npx claudex-setup --help         # Help
+```
+
+## Stack Detection
+
+Automatically detects: React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Python, Django, FastAPI, Node.js, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Docker — and tailors recommendations.
+
+## Why
+
+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.
