Commands/add-custom

/add-custom

Install custom modules from a Git repository.

Usage

/add-custom <git-url>

Example

/add-custom git@company.com:team/claude-modules.git

What It Does

  1. Clones the repository to ~/.claude/custom/

  2. Detects modules

    • MCP servers in mcp/
    • Skills in skills/

  3. Installs modules

    • Copies to appropriate locations
    • Registers in installed.json

  4. Custom overrides built-in

    • Your standards-python replaces the default one

Repository Structure

Your custom module repository should follow this structure:

company-claude-modules/
├── VERSION              # Version number (e.g., "1.0.0")
├── CHANGELOG.md         # What changed
├── mcp/
│   └── internal-api.json
└── skills/
    └── company-standards/
        └── SKILL.md

Skill Format

---
name: standards-python
description: Company Python standards

MCP Server Format

{
  "name": "internal-api",
  "description": "Internal API MCP server",
  "config": {
    "type": "stdio",
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@company/mcp-internal"]
  },
  "requiresApiKey": false
}

For Teams

Set up a company repository once:

# Create the repo
mkdir company-claude-modules
cd company-claude-modules
git init
 
# Add your standards
mkdir -p skills/company-standards
# Create SKILL.md with your standards
 
# Push to company Git
git remote add origin git@company.com:team/claude-modules.git
git push -u origin main

Then every team member runs:

/add-custom git@company.com:team/claude-modules.git

Use /claude-code-setup to check for and install updates to your custom modules.
