Getting Started with Director Mode
Welcome! This guide walks you through your first 5 minutes with Director Mode Lite.
Step 1: Verify Installation
Run a quick check:
ls .claude/skills/ | wc -l # Should show 31+
ls .claude/agents/ | wc -l # Should show 14
ls .claude/hooks/ | wc -l # Should show 5+
If any are missing, re-run the install script.
Also check dependencies:
python3 --version # Required for hook configuration
jq --version # Required for hook scripts
Step 2: Initialize Your Project
Run /project-init to auto-detect your project and generate a CLAUDE.md:
/project-init
This will:
- Detect your language and framework
- Create a CLAUDE.md with your project config
- Verify hooks are configured
- List available expert agents
Step 3: Your First Workflow
Try the 5-step development workflow:
/workflow
Or jump straight to autonomous TDD:
/auto-loop "Implement [your feature]
Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ] First requirement
- [ ] Second requirement
- [ ] Tests pass"
