xClaude Dev Tools

A Claude Code plugin with slash commands for development workflows. Works with any tech stack — the plugin reads your project's CLAUDE.md to understand conventions and adapts accordingly.

Getting Started

1. Install the plugin

Test locally:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/xclaude-dev-tools

Install from marketplace:

/plugin install xclaude-dev-tools

2. Run /setup (required, one-time)

Every command in this plugin requires a CLAUDE.md file in your project root. This file tells the plugin about your project's tech stack, conventions, and rules.

/xclaude-dev-tools:setup

This analyzes your codebase and generates a CLAUDE.md with:

• Tech stack and framework details
• Architecture and module boundaries
• Naming conventions and coding standards
• Testing framework, naming, and assertion style
• Database migration tool and conventions
• Commit message format

Review the generated file, tweak as needed, and you're ready to go.

Why? A generic plugin can't know your project uses Flyway vs Alembic, JUnit vs Jest, or that your services must end with Service. CLAUDE.md bridges that gap — it's the single source of truth for your project's conventions, and every command reads it before doing anything.

Commands

Command	Description
/setup	Run first. Analyzes codebase and generates CLAUDE.md
/generate-commit	Interactively stage files and create well-structured commits
/review	Review current git diff for correctness, security, architecture issues
/pr-review	Review a GitHub PR using the same review criteria
/pull-request	Create or update a GitHub PR with a structured description
/sync-pr	Lightweight PR description refresh after new commits
/migration-review	Review database migrations for safety and best practices
/test-for	Generate unit tests for a file/class following project conventions

Usage

Once installed, commands are available as:

/xclaude-dev-tools:setup
/xclaude-dev-tools:generate-commit
/xclaude-dev-tools:review
/xclaude-dev-tools:pr-review
/xclaude-dev-tools:pull-request
/xclaude-dev-tools:sync-pr
/xclaude-dev-tools:migration-review
/xclaude-dev-tools:test-for <ClassName>

If you run any command without a CLAUDE.md, it will stop and prompt you to run /setup first.

How CLAUDE.md Works

The CLAUDE.md file lives in your project root and looks like this (example for a Spring Boot project):

# Project: Customer API

A Spring Boot 3.2 REST API for customer management.

## Tech Stack
- Java 17+ / Spring Boot 3.2.5
- Spring Data JPA + H2 (dev) / PostgreSQL (prod)
- Maven

## Architecture
- Module structure: com.example.demo.<domain>
- Layers: Controller → Service → Repository

## Conventions
- @Service classes must end with Service
- Use constructor injection (no @Autowired)
- Commit format: <type>(<scope>): <description>

## Testing
- JUnit 5 + Mockito
- Test naming: methodName_condition_expectedResult

## Database Migrations
- Flyway SQL in src/main/resources/migrations/
- Naming: V<number>__<description>.sql

Every command reads this file and adapts its behavior. A React project would have different conventions, and the same commands would work accordingly.
