ccconfigs

Personal configuration repository for Claude Code - a plugin marketplace containing essential tools and workflows.

Quick Start

1. Install the marketplace:

   /plugin marketplace add dhruvbaldawa/ccconfigs
   

2. Set API keys (optional - for MCP servers):

   export PARALLEL_API_KEY=your_parallel_key       # Optional: Parallel Search
   export PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=your_perplexity_key   # Optional: Perplexity
   

3. Install plugins:

   /plugin
   # Install "essentials", "writing", and optionally "experimental" from ccconfigs
   

OpenCode Integration

Reuse this repository's Claude assets in OpenCode with minimal duplication.

# Interactive (recommended)
bun scripts/manage-opencode.ts

# Global baseline
bun scripts/manage-opencode.ts --scope global --set essentials

# Repo-local add-ons
bun scripts/manage-opencode.ts --scope repo --set writing,experimental

OpenCode merges global and local config. A practical setup is:

• Keep global plugin packs minimal (for example, essentials)
• Enable specialized packs per repository (writing, experimental)

See docs/guides/opencode-workflow.md for the full workflow.

Installation

Environment Variables

All MCP servers are optional. The essentials plugin uses built-in tools (WebFetch, WebSearch) first, with MCP servers as fallback for advanced capabilities.

Parallel Search (advanced web search with agentic mode):

1. Get API key from parallel.ai
2. Set environment variable:

   export PARALLEL_API_KEY=your_key_here
   

Perplexity (AI-powered search):

1. Get API key from Perplexity API Console
2. Set environment variable:

   export PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=your_key_here
   

Add these variables to your shell profile (.zshrc, .bashrc) for persistence. Without these keys, built-in tools (WebFetch, WebSearch) still provide full functionality.

Global Configuration (Optional)

This repository includes global Claude Code configuration that can be shared across all projects:

# After cloning, run the setup script to create symlinks
./setup-symlinks.sh

This creates symlinks from ~/.claude/ to the config/ directory in this repository, allowing you to:

• Version control your global Claude Code settings
• Edit your personal working rules from this repository
• Sync configuration across machines

The script is idempotent - you can run it multiple times safely.

What gets symlinked:

• config/CLAUDE.md → ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (your global working rules)
• config/settings.json → ~/.claude/settings.json (global settings)

Install this marketplace

If this repository is hosted on GitHub:

# In any Claude Code session, run:
/plugin marketplace add dhruvbaldawa/ccconfigs

If using a local clone:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dhruvbaldawa/ccconfigs.git
# Or use your local path

# In Claude Code, add the local marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add /Users/dhruv/Code/ccconfigs

Install plugins

Once the marketplace is added:

1. Open the plugin menu: /plugin
2. Browse available plugins from the ccconfigs marketplace
3. Select and install plugins:
   • essentials: For development workflows (MCP servers, task management, research, debugging/planning)
   • writing: For blog post writing in Dhruv's style
   • experimental: For complex development workflows with specialized agents (research, review)

Plugins automatically configure all MCP servers, slash commands, skills, and agents.

Overview

This repository provides a structured plugin marketplace for Claude Code with three plugins:

• essentials: Systematic development workflows including MCP servers, task management commands, research capabilities, and debugging/planning skills
• writing: Conversation-driven blog writing workflow in Dhruv Baldawa's distinctive style
• experimental: Multi-skill workflow system with 6 specialized agents for complex development tasks (research, code review)

Plugins

Essentials Plugin

Systematic development workflows including MCP servers, task management commands, and debugging/planning skills.

MCP Servers

Pre-configured integrations with Model Context Protocol servers. Built-in tools (WebFetch, WebSearch) are prioritized, with MCP servers as fallback for advanced capabilities:

• Parallel Search: Advanced web search with agentic mode for complex queries, fact-checking, multi-source synthesis, and deep content extraction (optional API key)
• Perplexity: AI-powered search for broad research and multiple perspectives (optional API key)
• Context7: Library documentation lookup for official API references and technical specs (always available)
• Sequential-thinking: Structured thinking framework for complex analysis (always available)
