Implementation

When the user runs /dev-setup:

1. Check target directory

   • If path provided, use that directory
   • Otherwise use current working directory
   • Create directory if it doesn't exist

2. Create .claude directory structure

   mkdir -p .claude/skills .claude/hooks .claude/locks docs
   

3. Copy components based on mode

   • Full: Copy all skills, hooks, templates
   • Minimal: Copy essential hooks and templates only

4. Generate project files from templates

   • Replace {{PROJECT_NAME}} with directory name
   • Replace {{DATE}} with current date
   • Don't overwrite existing files

5. Configure hooks in .claude/settings.json

   {
     "hooks": {
       "PreToolUse": [{"matcher": "Edit|Write", "command": ".claude/hooks/task-lock-enforcer.sh"}],
