claude-env

Reproducible Claude Code + Windows CLI environment.

This repo is the source of truth for one author's Claude Code config and PATH-installed CLI tools. Cloning it on a fresh Windows 11 machine and running scripts\bootstrap.ps1 produces an environment that behaves the same as the author's daily driver.

Layout

Path	Purpose	Tier
claude/	Global CLAUDE.md, settings.json, skills, agents, statusline, plugins	A
cli/	CLI tools that need to be on PATH (gh, git, python, node, aws, sam, docker, wsl)	B
dotfiles/	Personal-machine settings: git config, gh auth, VS Code extensions	C
project-overrides/	Project-specific overlays pulled out of the global config	-
planning/	Design notes for this repo itself	-
scripts/	Top-level bootstrap.ps1 orchestrator	-

The tiers are independent. Pick the ones you want.

Quick start (fresh machine)

git clone https://github.com/<you>/claude-env.git
cd claude-env
# Interactive picker - choose A only, A+B, A+B+C, etc.
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\bootstrap.ps1

Or run a single tier directly:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\claude\install.ps1
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\cli\install-tier-b.ps1
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\dotfiles\install-tier-c.ps1

Design choices

• Three opt-in tiers so you can install just Claude config on a shared box, or the full kit on a personal one.
• Universalized global CLAUDE.md — project-specific rules (Orahvision release framework, i18n, voiceover) live in project-overrides/, not in the global file.
• No secrets in the repo. Templates use $env:VAR_NAME placeholders. See .gitignore for the full exclusion list.
• Idempotent installers. Re-running bootstrap.ps1 is safe — winget install short-circuits on already-installed packages, file copies check before overwrite.

See planning/claude-env-replication.md for the full design rationale.

What is NOT captured

• Sessions, telemetry, caches, auto-memory under ~/.claude/ (per-machine).
• API keys, OAuth tokens, AWS creds, GitHub PATs (secrets).
• The Orahvision codebase itself — this repo is about the environment, not the projects you do work in.
