First Project Setup
After installation, set up your first project with Claude Code Setup.
Initialize the Project
In Claude Code, navigate to your project directory and run:
/init-projectClaude will:
- Ask about your project (name, tech stack, description)
- Generate a
CLAUDE.mdfile with status tables and workflow - Ask if you want Solo or Team mode
Solo vs Team Mode
| Mode | CLAUDE.md | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | In .gitignore | Personal notes, not shared |
| Team | Tracked in Git | Shared status for the team |
