# 🚀 Claude Development Framework v1.0.0
The first stable release of the Claude Development Framework—a production-grade system that transforms Claude into your team's AI development partner with perfect memory of your standards, patterns, and architectural decisions.
## 🎯 What's Included
### Core Framework
- **11 Powerful Commands** - `/start-task`, `/verify`, `/create-prd`, `/generate-tasks`, `/process-tasks`, `/research-stack`, `/import-standards`, `/add-standard`, `/standards`, `/learn`, `/update-framework`
- **Stack-Agnostic Design** - Works with ANY framework: React, Vue, Python, Rust, Go, Django, Rails, and more
- **Multi-Step Workflows** - Guided processes for complex tasks
- **MCP Integration** - Connect external documentation sources
### Installation System
- **One-Line Install** - `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LuisLadino/claude-dev-framework/main/scripts/install.sh | bash`
- **Clean Architecture** - No bloat, only essential framework files
- **Smart Merge** - Preserves existing `.claude/` directories
- **Easy Uninstall** - With backup options
### Key Features
#### 🧠 Architectural Memory
```yaml
# Claude remembers your decisions forever
architecture_patterns:
- "Event-driven microservices with CQRS"
- "Hexagonal architecture for domain isolation"
- "No circular dependencies (enforced)"
🔍 Intelligent Stack Research
/research-stackClaude researches YOUR stack online:
- Official documentation
- Current best practices (2024-2025)
- Framework-specific patterns
- Version-specific features
📋 Interactive PRD Generation
/create-prd12-question workflow creates comprehensive PRDs
Adapts to your tech stack automatically
Saves to .claude/tasks/ (no project root clutter)
📊 Codebase Analysis
/import-standards analyze codebaseDiscovers actual patterns in your code
Suggests edits to existing standards
Creates new standards files automatically
📦 Installation
New Project
cd your-project
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LuisLadino/claude-dev-framework/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
/research-stack # Generate standards for your stack
Existing Claude Code Setup
# Installer automatically detects and merges
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LuisLadino/claude-dev-framework/main/scripts/install.sh | bashChoose option 2: Merge with existing
🎓 Documentation
- Getting Started - Complete setup guide with migration paths
- Philosophy - Why this framework exists
- Customization Guide - Extend the framework
- FAQ - Common questions and troubleshooting
💡 Who Is This For?
Senior/Staff Engineers
- Problem: Context loss between Claude sessions, tribal knowledge not captured, team scaling challenges
- Solution: Codify your expertise once, scale it to everyone
- ROI: 10-20 hours/week saved per developer
Engineering Leaders
- Problem: Junior devs shipping code that doesn't meet standards, code review bottleneck, inconsistent patterns
- Solution: Framework enforces your standards automatically
- Result: Linear team velocity (not logarithmic)
Solo Developers
- Problem: Repeating yourself to Claude, inconsistent outputs, forgetting architectural decisions
- Solution: Standards that persist across sessions
- Benefit: Consistent, production-grade code
🌟 What Makes This Special
Stack-Agnostic
# Works with ANY stack via /research-stack
✅ Frontend: React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid
✅ Backend: FastAPI, Django, Express, Rails, Laravel
✅ Systems: Rust, Go, C++, Zig
✅ Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin
✅ And literally any other framework
No Lock-In

│ ├── python-standards.md # Plain markdown
│ └── fastapi-patterns.md # Easy to read/edit
└── architecture/
└── decisions.md # Version control friendlyKeep them, migrate them, or delete them anytime
Production-Ready
- Security standards enforced by default
- Observability built into generated code
- Testing strategies included
- Accessibility patterns included
- Performance considerations documented
📊 Framework vs. Raw Claude
| Aspect | Raw Claude | With Framework |
|---|---|---|
| Context Persistence | Lost every session | Permanent memory |
| Standards Enforcement | Manual reminders | Automatic |
| Team Consistency | Varies by person | Identical output |
| Architectural Decisions | Forgotten | Always followed |
| Onboarding Time | Weeks | Hours |
| Code Review Time | Hours | Minutes |
| Setup Time | N/A | 2 minutes |
