  </Card>
  <Card title="24 Agents" icon="rocket">
    Specialized subagents for code review, testing, database design, security auditing, UI/UX, plan review, and more — each with focused expertise.
  </Card>
  <Card title="7 Modes" icon="setting">
    Switch between brainstorm, implementation, review, deep research, and more. Each mode optimizes Claude's behavior for your task.

## Quick Start

Get up and running in under 2 minutes:

```bash
# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add duthaho/claudekit-marketplace

# Install the plugin
/plugin install claudekit

# Configure your project (optional)
/claudekit:init
```

Skills trigger automatically based on what you're doing. Ask Claude to brainstorm a feature, write a plan, debug an error, or review code — the right skills activate without any commands needed.

## Why Claude Kit?

### The Problem

Working with Claude Code is powerful, but raw Claude has limitations:

- **Context Spirals** — Token budgets run out, context gets lost mid-task
- **Inconsistent Output** — Quality varies between sessions
- **No Structure** — Every session starts from scratch
- **Missing Expertise** — Claude doesn't know your team's patterns and standards

### The Solution

Claude Kit provides the structure, patterns, and automation that makes Claude Code production-ready:

<CardGrid>
  <Card title="Auto-Triggered Skills" icon="puzzle">
    Say "fix this bug" and the systematic-debugging skill activates. Say "plan this feature" and brainstorming + writing-plans kick in. No commands to memorize.
  </Card>
  <Card title="Specialized Agents" icon="rocket">
    Delegate code review, security audits, testing, and documentation to focused subagents that work in parallel.
  </Card>
  <Card title="Consistent Quality" icon="approve-check">
    Built-in TDD enforcement, verification before completion, and code review workflows ensure every output meets your standards.
  </Card>
  <Card title="Fully Customizable" icon="pencil">
    Add your own skills, agents, and modes. Claude Kit is a template, not a black box.
  </Card>

## Development Workflows

Claude Kit connects skills and agents into complete workflows:

| Workflow | What Happens |
|----------|-------------|
| **Planning & Building** | Brainstorm requirements, write implementation plans, execute with subagents |
| **Testing & Debugging** | TDD enforcement, systematic debugging, root cause tracing, verification |
| **Reviewing & Shipping** | Code review, git workflows, PR creation, changelog generation |
