Claude Code CLI Environment Setup

1. Initial Setup and Authentication

# Install Claude Code CLI
npm install -g @anthropic/claude-cli

# Configure authentication
claude auth login
# Or set environment variable
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

# Initialize project
claude init --template advanced

2. CLAUDE.md Project Configuration

# CLAUDE.md - Project Configuration Example

## Project Context
- **Framework**: React + TypeScript + Node.js
- **Database**: PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM
- **Testing**: Jest + React Testing Library
- **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions + Docker

## Development Guidelines
- Use ESLint + Prettier for code formatting
- Follow conventional commits
- Write comprehensive tests for all features
- Document public APIs with TSDoc

## Agent Behaviors
- Always run tests before suggesting code changes
- Prioritize type safety and error handling
- Include comprehensive logging for debugging
- Follow existing code patterns and conventions

## Custom Tools
- `@database-agent`: PostgreSQL optimization and queries
- `@security-agent`: Security audit and vulnerability scanning
- `@test-agent`: Automated test generation and coverage analysis

3. Custom Agent Configuration

export const PROJECT_PROMPTS = {
  codeGeneration: `
    Generate TypeScript code following our project conventions:
    - Use strict type checking
    - Include comprehensive error handling
    - Add JSDoc comments for public APIs
    - Follow our naming conventions: camelCase for variables, PascalCase for types
    - Use async/await instead of Promises.then()
  `,
