Skills

Skill	Description
/fixclaude	Interactive performance wizard -- detects current settings, applies 8 proven fixes, and optionally installs companion tools.

Install

Recommended: Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add JCodesMore/jcodesmore-plugins
/plugin install fix-claude-code@jcodesmore-plugins

Manual

claude install-plugin JCodesMore/fix-claude-code

Or load from a local checkout:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/fix-claude-code

Usage

/fixclaude

The wizard walks you through every step:

1. Detects current settings and shows what's missing
2. Applies 8 proven performance fixes -- max effort, deep thinking, smooth rendering, agent teams, and more
3. Sets up a session timer bump -- creates a persistent cloud routine via /schedule that keeps the rolling 5-hour rate limit window active indefinitely
4. Optionally installs companion tools -- Claude HUD, Context7, Playwright, Caveman, Chrome integration
5. Shows a clear summary of everything that changed

Every step is explained in plain language. No config files to hunt down, no values to guess.

What Gets Fixed

Core Performance Settings

Setting	What it does
CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL=max	Full reasoning every turn
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ADAPTIVE_THINKING=1	Consistent deep thinking (no under-allocation)
MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=31999	Maximum reasoning budget
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT=1	More compute for thinking
alwaysThinkingEnabled=true	Extended thinking every turn
CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1	Smooth screen rendering
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1	Disable telemetry and background network
CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1	Multi-agent coordination

Rate Limit Optimization

Feature	What it does
Session timer bump	Cloud routine via /schedule — pings every 3 hours to keep the rolling 5-hour rate limit window active. Runs indefinitely on Anthropic's cloud, never expires

Optional Plugins

Plugin	What it does
Claude HUD	Status dashboard -- context %, tokens, rate limits
Context7 MCP	Live, up-to-date library documentation
Playwright MCP	Browser-based self-testing
Caveman	Shorter, more focused output
Claude in Chrome	Control your browser from the terminal

How It Works

The plugin is a single interactive skill with no code dependencies. It reads your current ~/.claude/settings.json, shows you what's missing, and merges in the recommended values -- preserving everything else in your config.

Optional plugins are presented one at a time so you can pick what you want. MCP servers (Context7, Playwright) are installed automatically. Plugins that require interactive commands (Claude HUD, Caveman) give you the exact command to paste.
