Quickstart

Zero to brain in 5 minutes.

1

Install Claude Code

antidrift runs inside Claude Code. If you don't have it yet:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Requires Node.js 18+. Check with node --version.

2

Init your brain

This creates a git repo with CLAUDE.md files and 7 built-in skills.

npx @antidrift/core init

It'll ask for your company name, then scaffold the repo.

3

Open Claude Code

cd into your new brain and launch Claude.

cd your-company && claude

Claude loads the CLAUDE.md files automatically. No config needed.

4

Ingest your docs

Feed it your existing company docs — PDFs, markdown, Google Docs exports, whatever you have.

/ingest path/to/your-docs.md

It reads the files, categorizes them, and builds CLAUDE.md files by department.

5

Push to GitHub optional

Share the brain with your team. This creates a private repo and pushes.

/remote

Uses the gh CLI if available. Otherwise gives you manual steps. Skip this if you're working solo.

6

Teammates join requires step 5

Anyone on the team can join with one command. Same brain, first session.

npx @antidrift/core join org/repo
7

Stay in sync

Two commands to keep everyone current.

/push Commit and push your changes
/refresh Pull the latest from the team
