Get started

Install bassclef and run the three commands that make up the core value journey.

Use this when

You have Claude Code installed and want to try bassclef in a real repo. You do not need to know what a hook or a skill is to get value from the three commands.

Skip this when

You want the reference catalog of every command. That lives under Skills. This page is the shortest path from zero to shipping your first thing.

The three steps

Install — see the install page. Currently placeholder-then-refresh: the site shows a placeholder now and refreshes with the live command when v0.1.0 publishes.
Run /riff — sketch a UI idea from a paragraph. You type a paragraph. Claude comes back with three clickable mocks.
Pick one and run /launch — Claude turns that mock into a buildable plan: a spec, user stories, and a migration plan.
Run /build — Claude ships the plan. A Reviewer role signs off and a pull request opens on your branch.

By the end of the three steps, you have a pull request open on your own repo with code your reviewer can compare against the spec you agreed on. No slide deck. No feature request handoff. No demo that does not compile.

Next up: two workhorses

After the Tightest 3, you invoke /longrun and /sprint every session — they drive the session shape. See the workhorses.
