Claude Code

Claude Code (VS Code extension, CLI, or desktop) reads CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md from the repository root.

Setup

  1. Run adopt — copies CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md.
  2. Open the repository root in VS Code (not a parent folder).
  3. Install Claude Code extension or use the CLI.
  4. Set GITHUB_TOKEN (token guide).

Verify

Ask: "Create a GitHub issue titled [Bug] Test from Claude" — Claude should execute the Python script.

VS Code tips

  • Shell commands run from integrated terminal inherit user env vars after IDE restart.
  • If Claude asks you to run commands manually, remind it to follow AGENTS.md.

Optional project memory

Add to Claude project settings:

For bugs and tasks, use python scripts/github_issue.py per AGENTS.md. GitHub Issues is the source of truth.

Troubleshooting

Problem Fix
Wrong working directory Open repo root where scripts/ lives
Agent doesn't run script Ensure AGENTS.md is in context
Token missing Restart VS Code after env var change
