What is CCGM?

CCGM is a curated collection of 71 configuration modules for Claude Code. Instead of hand-crafting rules, hooks, commands, and permissions from scratch, you pick modules and install them with a single command.

Each module is self-contained with its own README, so you can also copy individual files manually without the installer.

What gets installed

CCGM places files into ~/.claude/ (global) or .claude/ (project-level):

Directory	What	How Claude Uses It
rules/*.md	Behavior rules	Loaded automatically at session start
commands/*.md	Slash commands	Available as /commit, /pr, etc.
agents/*.md	Subagent prompts	Reusable prompts invoked by commands and skills via the Task tool
hooks/*.py	Workflow hooks	Triggered on Claude Code events
settings.json	Permissions	Controls tool access and auto-approval

Install via agent (paste this)

Paste the block below into a fresh Claude Code session. The agent detects your environment, picks a preset, runs the installer, and reports what was installed. No flags, no shell environment to configure first.

Install CCGM (Claude Code God Mode) for me.

Steps:
1. Detect my OS (uname -s), shell ($SHELL), and home directory ($HOME).
2. Clone the repo if it does not already exist:
     git clone https://github.com/lucasmccomb/ccgm.git ~/code/ccgm
   If it already exists, pull the latest main:
     cd ~/code/ccgm && git fetch origin && git checkout main && git pull --ff-only origin main
3. Read the available presets: ls ~/code/ccgm/presets/
   Available presets and what they include:
     - minimal  : global-claude-md, autonomy, git-workflow
     - standard : the above + identity, hooks, settings, commands-core, commands-utility
     - team     : standard core + github-protocols, code-quality, systematic-debugging, verification
     - cloud-agent : large set for power users running autonomous agents
     - full     : every stable module
   Based on what you know about my workflow, recommend one preset. Ask me to confirm or pick a different one before continuing. (One question only — do not ask anything else.)
4. Check what is already installed by looking at ~/.claude/rules/, ~/.claude/commands/, ~/.claude/hooks/. List any CCGM files already present and note you will skip overwriting them.
5. Read ~/.claude/settings.json if it exists and note its content. The installer will merge non-destructively — it will not delete keys that are already there.
6. Run the installer:
     cd ~/code/ccgm
     CCGM_NON_INTERACTIVE=1 \
       CCGM_USERNAME="$(gh api user --jq '.login' 2>/dev/null || echo '')" \
       ./start.sh --preset <chosen-preset>
7. Verify the install succeeded by checking that these paths exist:
     ~/.claude/rules/
     ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md   (if global-claude-md was in the preset)
   List the files now present in ~/.claude/rules/ and ~/.claude/commands/.
8. Report: which preset was installed, which modules were skipped (already present), and any errors.

For blocks pre-selecting a specific preset, and for how to dry-run this safely, see docs/install-via-agent.md.

Requirements

• Claude Code (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
• macOS or Linux
• bash 4+ or zsh
• git

The installer checks for Claude Code, additional tools (jq, Python 3, gh CLI), and offers to install any that are missing.

Install

git clone https://github.com/lucasmccomb/ccgm.git
cd ccgm
./start.sh

The interactive setup handles everything: prerequisite checks, module selection, and configuration. No flags needed.
