Your AI assistant team, ready to go.
Get 70+ ready-to-use helpers for productivity, business, and coding in Claude Code and Claude Cowork. Just install and start asking for help.
Option 1: Plugin Marketplace (Recommended)
/plugin marketplace add sunnypatneedi/claude-starter-kitThis installs all agents, skills, hooks, and MCP configurations directly into your .claude/ directory.
Option 2: Use as Template
- Click "Use this template" button above
- Clone your new repo and open it in Claude Code
- Start asking Claude for help!
Claude automatically uses the helpers in this kit.
Option 3: Install Script
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sunnypatneedi/claude-starter-kit/main/install.sh | bashUse the same installation as Claude Code above:
git clone https://github.com/sunnypatneedi/claude-starter-kit.git
cd claude-starter-kit
./install.shCowork reads from the same .claude/ directory as Code. The only difference is how you invoke skills:
- Code:
/skill-name(slash commands) - Cowork: "Use the skill-name skill" (natural language)
Note: Skills work identically in both. Agents work differently - see Cowork vs Code Guide for details.
Just talk naturally. Ask Claude to help with anything:
| You say... | Claude helps you... |
|---|---|
| "Help me plan my week" | Create a structured weekly plan with priorities |
| "I need to write better" | Coach you on clarity, structure, and style |
| "Review my code" | Run a thorough code review checklist |
| "Help me prep for an interview" | Practice questions and improve your answers |
| "Debug this error" | Systematically find and fix the problem |
| "Plan my content calendar" | Strategize and schedule your content |
| "Create a sales playbook" | Build structured sales processes and templates |
| "Optimize performance" | Find bottlenecks and improve speed |
No commands to memorize. Just describe what you need.
Think of these as different "hats" Claude can wear:
| Category | Agents | Skills | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal | 5 | 9 | Productivity coach, GTD expert, journaling guide, writing coach, learning coach, habit architect |
| Business | 10 | 13 | Sales strategist, growth expert, PMF measurement, retention optimization, copywriter, marketing strategist |
| Engineering | 14 | 18 | Code reviewer, debugger, security reviewer, software architect, performance optimizer, DevOps engineer, AI evaluator |
Total: 29 agents + 41 skills
Claude picks the right helper based on your question.
You can also use shortcuts:
/daily-plan → Plan your day
/weekly-review → Reflect and plan ahead
/code-review → Review code changes
/product-market-fit → Measure PMF with proven frameworks
/sales-playbook → Build sales processes
/systems-decompose → Design system architecture
But you don't need to memorize these. Just ask naturally.
Skills in this kit get better with use. Here's how:
- Use a skill →
/product-market-fit,/code-review, etc. - End session → Claude might ask: "Did that miss anything for your context?"
- Quick feedback → "Yes, B2B benchmarks were too high"
- Stored locally →
.claude/feedback/retro-[timestamp].md - Review patterns → Use
/skill-improverweekly/monthly - Update skills → Add B2B-specific guidance, better benchmarks
- Everyone benefits → Next user gets improved version
Example: 4 users report "Sean Ellis 40% threshold too high for B2B" → Skill updated with context-specific thresholds (B2C: 40%, B2B: 35%, Enterprise: 30%) → Problem solved for everyone.
Your feedback improves skills for the entire community.
See Self-Improving Skills Guide for details.
