Project Setup Examples

🚧 Work in Progress - Complete project setup examples are being developed.

Real-world examples of setting up different types of projects with optimal Claude Code configuration.

React Component Library Setup

Initial Conversation Pattern

You: "I want to create a React component library with TypeScript, 
Storybook, and automated testing. Let's think through the architecture 
and set up the project structure."

Claude: "Great! Let me think through the architecture for a modern 
React component library..."

Complete CLAUDE.md Example

# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with this React component library.

## Project Overview

A modern React component library built with TypeScript, featuring:
- Reusable UI components with consistent design system
- Comprehensive testing with Jest and Testing Library
- Interactive documentation with Storybook
- Automated publishing to NPM

## Development Commands

- `npm run dev` - Start Storybook development server
- `npm test` - Run Jest tests with watch mode
- `npm run test:coverage` - Generate test coverage report
- `npm run build` - Build components for distribution
- `npm run lint` - Run ESLint and Prettier
- `npm run type-check` - Run TypeScript compiler check

## Architecture Notes

- **Component Structure**: Each component in `/src/components/ComponentName/`
- **Testing Strategy**: Unit tests alongside components, integration tests in `/tests/`
- **Design System**: Tokens defined in `/src/tokens/`, consumed via CSS-in-JS
- **Documentation**: Stories co-located with components for discoverability

## Key Patterns

- Export all components through `/src/index.ts` barrel file
- Use compound components pattern for complex UI elements
- Implement consistent prop interfaces with TypeScript
- Follow accessibility best practices with ARIA attributes
