business-os-skeleton

Reusable Claude Code workspace skeleton for service businesses. Bootstraps a new business's operating system with safety gates, memory index, changelog, error log, tool-priority rules, and a starter set of slash commands.

Install a new business OS

The installer prompts for:

• Business name, owner name, contact info
• CRM, payment, and accounting systems
• Voice style, staff roster
• Mac username (for settings.json paths)

It copies the skeleton to your target path, substitutes every {{PLACEHOLDER}}, initializes git, and seeds the system changelog.

First Claude session

Read CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules/*, and memory/MEMORY.md. Then interview me for anything still marked TODO: knowledge files to create (Tier 1/2/3), tool priority specifics for my CRM, and the first 3-5 custom commands this business needs. Write answers into the seeded files. Log each edit to memory/system-changelog.md.

What you still need to add per business

The skeleton provides structure. You provide content:

• **.mcp.json** — which MCP servers this business uses (CRM, payment, accounting, scheduling)
• **.env** — API credentials (gitignored)
• **memory/knowledge/*.md** — Tier 1 and Tier 2 knowledge files
• **scripts/automation/sync.py** — CRM sync that writes to output/ with sync-meta.json
• Custom commands — beyond the 4 starter commands, whatever recurring workflows this business has
