My Claude Code Setup, From Zero

Installing Claude Code and wiring it up the way I actually use it: CodeGraph for code intelligence, MCP servers, plugin marketplaces, LSP, GitHub Spec Kit, and Herdr to keep the agents running.

A fresh Claude Code install is useful. A configured one is a different tool entirely. The gap between the two is maybe fifteen minutes of setup — a code index, a handful of MCP servers, two plugin marketplaces, a spec workflow, and a runtime to keep it all alive — and I keep re-doing it every time I move to a new machine. So here it is written down, in the order I run it.
