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:

1. Detect your language and framework
2. Create a CLAUDE.md with your project config
3. Verify hooks are configured
4. 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"
