Verify .claude Setup

Quick verification that .claude directory is properly configured.

When to Use

• After updating agents, rules, hooks, or memory
• Before starting complex work (ensure system is ready)
• User asks "is everything set up correctly?"
• Troubleshooting configuration issues

Verification Checklist

1. Agents (should have 6)

ls .claude/agents/ | wc -l

Verify all agents have:

• Proper YAML frontmatter
• Research-First Protocol section
• Clear responsibilities

2. Hooks (should have 11 scripts + README)

ls .claude/hooks/scripts/*.ts | wc -l

Check:

• All scripts executable (

  chmod +x

  )
• All have Bun shebang (

  #!/usr/bin/env bun

  )
• settings.json has all hooks configured
• Pre-tool and Post-tool hooks exist

3. Rules (should have research-first-protocol.md)

ls .claude/rules/*.md

Verify:

• research-first-protocol.md exists
• Has

  alwaysApply: true

4. Memory (should have 8 files)

ls .claude/memory/ | wc -l

Check CLAUDE.md imports all:

• research-first-enforcement.md
• coding-standards.md
• testing-standards.md
• architecture-patterns.md
• common-workflows.md
• build-commands.md
• asset-forge-guide.md
• security-protocols.md

5. Settings

grep -c "hooks" .claude/settings.json

Verify:

• SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit hooks
• PreToolUse (Bash, Write, Edit) hooks
• PostToolUse (Write, Edit, Read, Grep, Glob) hooks
• PreCompact, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionEnd hooks

6. Commands (should have ~20)

find .claude/commands -type f -name "*.md" | wc -l

Quick Verification

Run all checks:

echo "Agents: $(ls .claude/agents/ | wc -l)"
echo "Hooks: $(ls .claude/hooks/scripts/*.ts | wc -l)"
echo "Rules: $(ls .claude/rules/*.md | wc -l)"
echo "Memory: $(ls .claude/memory/ | wc -l)"
echo "Commands: $(find .claude/commands -type f -name "*.md" | wc -l)"
echo "Skills: $(ls .claude/skills/ | wc -l)"

Expected Counts

• Agents: 6
• Hook Scripts: 11
• Rules: 2 (README + research-first-protocol)
• Memory: 8
• Commands: ~20
• Skills: ~40
