This skill should be used when the user asks to "start a new project", "set up a project", "initialize a repo", "create a new codebase", "help me get started", or mentions "first session" or "project kickoff".
/plugin marketplace add Crazytieguy/alignment-hive/plugin install mats@alignment-hiveThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
Consider spending the first session on architecture, research, and tooling rather than feature development.
Consider modern tooling where appropriate. Examples: uv for Python, vite and bun for JavaScript/TypeScript.
A useful pattern: treat README.md as a working document that evolves with the project, and add a CLAUDE.md with instructions to keep it updated.
Propose relevant plugins from the official marketplace (auto-installed):
pyright-lsptypescript-lsp, frontend-designrust-analyzer-lspagent-sdk-devInstall by adding to ./.claude/settings.json in the project root (not ~/.claude/settings.json or settings.local.json):
{
"enabledPlugins": {
"pyright-lsp@claude-plugins-official": true
}
}
Ask if the user wants to install hive-mind - local memory retrieval system, plus shared knowledge from other researchers' Claude sessions, and your sessions contribute back. Sharing requires an invite (MATS scholars: check your email).
