Claude-Workflow (www.npmjs.com)

Claude-Workflow is a new opinionated npm CLI that scaffolds projects with ready-made Claude Code configs, a structured backlog/task system, and optional Git worktree workflows to isolate AI-driven tasks. Installable globally (npm i -g claude-workflow) and run inside an existing, Git-initialized Node.js (18+, ESM) project, the init command interactively generates .claude/ settings, CLAUDE.md (auto-managed), an editable CLAUDE_PROJECT.md, src/tests/docs/data folders, Vitest test config, sensible .gitignore/.env templates, pre-commit hooks for task validation, and a full backlog/templating system. Platform-aware notifications and clipboard support are available: macOS uses notify.sh, while WSL users can opt into claude-wsl (terminal tab indicators, toast notifications) and claude-clipboard for image pasting. This tool matters because it standardizes how Claude agents are embedded in developer workflows—speeding onboarding, keeping AI context small across multiple projects, and enabling isolated feature work via Git worktrees or simpler branch flows. Teams can enforce PR-based merges, automatic git sync before tasks, and validation scripts out of the box; solo devs and agencies can spin up Claude-ready repos in minutes. Key technical constraints: Node 18+, Git must be configured with a remote, package.json required, and the CLI supports flags to toggle worktrees, git-sync, and PR enforcement (--no-worktrees, --no-git-sync, --no-pull-requests). Overall, Claude-Workflow reduces setup friction and makes reproducible, safe Claude automation a first-class part of project repos.
