Claude Code Workspace

Structured workspace setup for Claude Code by Brandon Packard.

Quick Start

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abcnuts/claude-code-workspace/main/setup.sh | bash

Or clone and run manually:

git clone https://github.com/abcnuts/claude-code-workspace.git
cd claude-code-workspace
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

What It Sets Up

Directory	Purpose
projects/	Active projects (each gets its own subfolder)
scratch/	Quick experiments, throwaway code
outputs/	Final deliverables, exports
scripts/	Reusable utility scripts
.claude/	Claude Code settings and permissions

Key Files

• CLAUDE.md — Project instructions that Claude Code reads automatically on startup
• .claude/settings.json — Pre-configured tool permissions (git, npm, python, etc.)
• .gitignore — Clean repo defaults (node_modules, .env, pycache, etc.)

Working Principles

1. Ship over perfect — working > polished
2. One project at a time — finish before starting
3. Commit often — small atomic commits with clear messages
4. Document decisions — leave breadcrumbs in commit messages and READMEs
