setup

Run once after installing turbocharge. Audits global config for conflicts — duplicate agents, competing skills, stale rules — and offers to fix them. Also validates turbocharge plugin health.

Setup Turbocharge

One-time audit and cleanup to make turbocharge your single orchestration system.

Announce: "Running turbocharge setup — auditing your config for conflicts."

The Goal

Turbocharge replaces ad-hoc agents, scattered skills, and custom commands with one pipeline. This setup finds and removes the overlap so Claude doesn't get confused about which system to use.

Audit Steps

1. Check for Competing Agents

Scan ~/.claude/agents/ for agent definitions that overlap with turbocharge agents:

Turbocharge AgentConflicts With
buildertdd-guide, implementer
plannerplanner, architect
code-reviewercode-reviewer
researcherexplorer, investigator
spec-reviewer
quality-reviewer

Also check for: session-wrapper, session-wrap, build-error-resolver (covered by turbocharge:debug)

Action: List conflicts and offer to delete them. Explain what turbocharge agent replaces each one.

2. Check for Duplicate Skills/Commands

Scan .claude/commands/ (project level) for commands that overlap with turbocharge skills:

Turbocharge SkillConflicts With
wrapsession-wrap, wrap-up, session-wrapper
storystory-author, user-story, story-writer
plantask-breakdown, plan-tasks, task-planner
reviewcode-review
buildimplement, implement-story
brainstormbrainstorm (if non-turbocharge)
debugdebug, troubleshoot

Action: List conflicts with file paths. Offer to delete duplicates. Flag any that have unique functionality turbocharge doesn't cover (recommend keeping those).

3. Check agents.md Rule

Read ~/.claude/rules/common/agents.md (if exists):

  • Does it reference turbocharge as the primary system? Good.
  • Does it list phantom agents (agents not in ~/.claude/agents/)? Bad — offer to rewrite.
  • Does it reference both turbocharge AND other agent systems? Bad — offer to consolidate.

Action: If agents.md doesn't point to turbocharge, offer to replace it with the turbocharge-aware version:

# Agent Orchestration
## Primary System: Turbocharge Plugin
All orchestration goes through the turbocharge plugin...

4. Check for Plugin Conflicts

Read ~/.claude/settings.json and check enabledPlugins:

  • Are there disabled plugins cluttering the config? Offer to remove.
  • Are there other orchestration plugins enabled alongside turbocharge (superpowers, everything-claude-code)? Warn about conflicts.

5. Validate Turbocharge Plugin Health

Run the validation script if available:

./scripts/validate.sh

Or manually check:

  • All 10 skills have SKILL.md files
  • All 6 agents have .md files
  • hooks/hooks.json exists
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json exists and has correct version

6. Check Global Rules Alignment

Scan ~/.claude/rules/common/ for rules that conflict with turbocharge's iron laws:

  • Testing rules should include "never ask permission to run tests"
  • Development workflow should include "verify understanding before coding"
  • Coding style should include a completion gate
  • Reviews should require comprehensive scope by default

Action: List missing rules and offer to add them.

7. Check for Global Rules / Turbocharge Overlap

Scan ~/.claude/rules/common/ for files that duplicate what turbocharge skills already enforce:

Global Rule FileOverlaps WithRecommendation
agents.mdturbocharge pipeline (SessionStart bootstrap)Keep only the "Primary System: Turbocharge Plugin" header + pipeline table. Remove agent dispatch details — turbocharge skills handle dispatch.
development-workflow.mdturbocharge:plan, turbocharge:buildRemove TDD steps and plan-first sections — builder.md and planner.md enforce these. Keep only git workflow and research steps.
testing.mdbuilder.md TDD mandateRemove TDD workflow section — builder.md is the single source. Keep coverage targets and test types.

Action: For each overlap found, show the user what's duplicated and offer to trim. Don't delete files — trim the overlapping sections and keep unique content.

Why this matters: Every global rule file is loaded into context on every turn (~4 bytes/token). Duplicate instructions between rules and turbocharge skills waste ~2,000 tokens per session and can cause conflicting guidance.

CLAUDE.md Phase

Run this phase after the conflict audit completes and before the final report.

1. Auto-Detect (no questions)

Probe the project root for these files and extract values:

SignalInspectExtract
package.jsonscripts.test, scripts.lint, top-level nametest command, lint command, project name
pyproject.toml[tool.poetry], [project], [tool.pytest.ini_options]language (Python), test framework
Cargo.toml[package].name, [dev-dependencies]language (Rust), test runner
go.modmodule linelanguage (Go), module path
pnpm-lock.yaml / yarn.lock / package-lock.jsonpresencepackage manager
Primary entrysrc/index.*, main.*, cmd/*/main.goentry-point file

Do not ask the user about anything detectable.

2. Interview (≤5 questions, each skippable)

Ask at most these five, each with [skip] producing the template default:

  1. Test discipline — Strict TDD / Tests-alongside / Tests-when-reasonable
  2. File-header convention — ABOUTME / JSDoc-style / None
  3. Naming style — camelCase / snake_case / mixed-by-language
  4. Debug protocol strictness — Always 4-phase / Non-trivial only
  5. Project-specific domain terms — free text; empty skips the block

The interview must be completable in under 90 seconds.

3. Render and Append

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/CLAUDE-turbocharge.md. Substitute answers (test command, naming style, file-header convention, domain terms). Each block is delimited by <!-- turbocharge:NAME --> and <!-- /turbocharge:NAME -->.

  • If CLAUDE.md exists and contains a block with the same marker → replace between markers, leave surrounding content untouched.
  • If CLAUDE.md exists and does not contain that block → append to end of file.
  • If CLAUDE.md does not exist → suggest /init first, do not create a bare CLAUDE.md from the template alone.

4. Show Diff, Confirm, Write

Always show the diff and ask for confirmation before writing. Never modify CLAUDE.md silently.

5. Size Guard

After writing, if CLAUDE.md exceeds 180 lines, warn the user and suggest extracting personal rules to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.

6. Chain Forward

If ATLAS.md does not exist, offer: /turbocharge:atlas to generate the navigation index. This closes the bootstrap loop: /init → /turbocharge:setup → /turbocharge:atlas.

Report Format

TURBOCHARGE SETUP AUDIT
=======================

Plugin Health: ✅ OK (10 skills, 6 agents, hooks configured)

Conflicts Found:
  🔴 ~/.claude/agents/session-wrapper-agent.md → covered by turbocharge:wrap
  🔴 .claude/commands/story-author.md → covered by turbocharge:story
  🟡 agents.md references phantom agents, not turbocharge

Recommendations:
  1. Delete ~/.claude/agents/session-wrapper-agent.md
  2. Delete .claude/commands/story-author.md
  3. Rewrite agents.md to reference turbocharge

No Conflicts:
  ✅ .claude/commands/epic-author.md — unique, keep
  ✅ .claude/commands/consistency-review.md — unique, keep

Apply fixes? [list specific changes, ask for confirmation]

After Setup

Offer to chain:

  • /turbocharge:brainstorm if user has an idea to explore
  • /turbocharge:plan if user has requirements ready
  • Nothing if user just wanted the audit

Red Flags

Do NOT:

  • Delete files without listing them first and getting confirmation
  • Modify CLAUDE.md without showing the diff
  • Assume any file is "safe to delete" — always explain what replaces it
  • Skip the audit steps to "save time"
