# Final DX Improvements - Ready for Installation
**Date:** 2026-02-06
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE RESEARCH | 🎯 READY TO INSTALL

## Research Complete

✅ **Methodology Frameworks:** GSD + OpenSpec + BMAD (methodology-researcher)
✅ **Claude Code V4:** All 13 parts + 40+ sources (reddit-guide-analyzer)
✅ **Session Learning:** ACE/evolver patterns (ace-evolver-researcher)

## What We're Installing

### **1. Hook System** (5 hooks)

**File Protection** (`~/.claude/hooks/file-monitor.py`)
- Warns on .env, secrets access (doesn't block - user requirement)
- Logs accesses for audit
- Exit code 0 (allow)

**Auto-Lint** (`.claude/hooks/auto-lint.sh`)
- PostToolUse on code edits
- Runs: lint + typecheck + format (NOT full tests - too slow)
- Scoped to changed files only

**Context Injection** (`.claude/hooks/context-inject.sh`)
- UserPromptSubmit event
- Injects: git branch, recent commits, file status

**Session Learning** (`.claude/hooks/session-learning.py`) ← NEW!
- SessionEnd event
- Format: ✅ Do / ❌ Don't / 📝 Notes
- Updates: failures.md, retrospectives/

**Phase Execution** (`.claude/hooks/phase-execute.sh`)
- Setup event
- Spawns 200k subagent contexts
- Enforces artifact gates

### **2. Auto-Detection Skills**

**Workflow Detector** (`.claude/skills/auto-detect/SKILL.md`)
- "add auth" → /dev:feature
- "fix bug" → /dev:fix
- "refactor" → /dev:refactor
- Methodology markers: propose/impl/validate

**Retrospective** (`.claude/skills/retrospective/SKILL.md`) ← NEW!
- Triggered: /retrospective, phase complete, session end
- Extracts: What worked / failed / decisions / config
- Saves to: memory/retrospectives/

### **3. Specialized Agents** (4 agents + more)

**frontend** (`~/.claude/agents/frontend.md`)
- React, Vite, TypeScript
- Isolated context window

**backend** (`~/.claude/agents/backend.md`)
- Go services, APIs
- Isolated context window

**docs** (`~/.claude/agents/docs.md`)
- Markdown organization
- No root .md files (enforced)

**test** (`~/.claude/agents/test.md`)
- Gap analysis, coverage
- Test strategy

### **4. Memory Enhancements**

**New Files Created:**
- `memory/failures.md` - Anti-patterns database
- `memory/retrospectives/` - Structured learnings
- `memory/coordination-patterns.md` - Multi-agent patterns

**Existing Enhanced:**
- MEMORY.md - Index to all topic files
- patterns.md - Updated with new patterns
- sessions.md - Session-by-session history

### **5. YAML Workflows** (Month 2)

`.bmad/workflows/feature-development.yaml`
```yaml
sequence:
  - propose (OpenSpec)
  - plan (GSD 200k context)
  - design (OpenSpec gate)
  - implement (GSD atomic commits)
  - validate (OpenSpec verify)
```

## Installation Instructions

### Prerequisites
```bash
# Check Claude Code version
claude --version  # Need 2.1.7+ for MCP Tool Search

# Check Python
python3 --version  # Need 3.8+

# Check jq
which jq  # For JSON parsing in hooks
```

### Step 1: Install Hooks
```bash
# User-level hooks
mkdir -p ~/.claude/hooks
cp .claude/hooks/session-learning.py ~/.claude/hooks/
chmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/session-learning.py

# Project-level hooks
mkdir -p .claude/hooks
cp hooks/*.sh .claude/hooks/
chmod +x .claude/hooks/*.sh
```

### Step 2: Configure settings.json
```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "Read|Edit|Write",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "python3 ~/.claude/hooks/file-monitor.py"
      }]
    }],
    "PostToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "Edit|Write",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": ".claude/hooks/auto-lint.sh"
      }]
    }],
    "UserPromptSubmit": [{
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": ".claude/hooks/context-inject.sh"
      }]
    }],
    "SessionEnd": [{
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "python3 ~/.claude/hooks/session-learning.py"
      }]
    }],
    "Setup": [{
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": ".claude/hooks/phase-execute.sh"
      }]
    }]
  }
}
```

### Step 3: Install Skills
```bash
mkdir -p .claude/skills/auto-detect
mkdir -p .claude/skills/retrospective
cp skills/auto-detect/SKILL.md .claude/skills/auto-detect/
cp skills/retrospective/SKILL.md .claude/skills/retrospective/
```

### Step 4: Install Agents
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/agents
cp agents/*.md ~/.claude/agents/
```

### Step 5: Initialize Memory
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/projects/-Users-kooshapari-temp-PRODVERCEL-485-kush-trace/memory/retrospectives
touch ~/.claude/projects/-Users-kooshapari-temp-PRODVERCEL-485-kush-trace/memory/failures.md
```

## Testing the Installation

### Test 1: File Protection
```bash
claude
> "Read .env file"
# Should see: ⚠️ Accessing sensitive file: .env
# Should allow operation
```

### Test 2: Auto-Lint
```bash
# Edit a TypeScript file with formatting errors
# Hook should auto-run: bun run lint --fix
```

### Test 3: Auto-Detection
```bash
claude
> "add user authentication"
# Should auto-trigger: /dev:feature workflow
# OpenSpec proposal → GSD plan → implementation
```

### Test 4: Session Learning
```bash
# At end of session, type:
> /retrospective
# Should create: memory/retrospectives/<topic>-<timestamp>.md
# Should update: memory/failures.md
```

### Test 5: Agent Delegation
```bash
claude
> "review the React authentication component"
# Should auto-delegate to: frontend agent
# Isolated context window
```

## Rollback Plan

If any issues:
```bash
# Disable hooks
mv ~/.claude/settings.json ~/.claude/settings.json.backup
echo '{}' > ~/.claude/settings.json

# Remove skills
rm -rf .claude/skills/auto-detect
rm -rf .claude/skills/retrospective

# Keep agents (they're passive)
# Keep memory (historical value)
```
