Claude Code Organizer

Reclaiming Control Over AI Context Managing a complex development environment with Claude Code often leads to a "configuration sprawl" where global skills and local project plugins overlap. This clutter isn't just a mental burden; it directly impacts performance through context bloat. The Claude Code Organizer provides a centralized dashboard to visualize, move, and audit these assets. Prerequisites and Installation To use this tool, you need a working installation of the Claude CLI and Node.js. The organizer acts as a wrapper that reads your `.claude` directories. ```bash npx claude-code-organizer ``` Running this command launches a local web server, typically opening a dashboard in Google Chrome that maps out your Laravel Herd folders or any directory containing project-specific Claude configurations. Key Libraries & Tools * Claude Code: The primary CLI tool for AI-assisted coding. * Claude Code Organizer: A web-based management interface for skills and plugins. * MCP Servers: Specialized servers like Codex that extend the model's capabilities. * Visual Studio Code: Integrated for direct file editing from the dashboard. Managing Skills and Context Budgets One powerful feature is the ability to shift skills between scopes. If a specific prompt engineering skill is only relevant to a single repository, you can move it from global to local scope to prevent it from polluting other sessions. This directly affects your **Context Budget**. Every time you launch a session, Claude preloads configurations. The organizer calculates the token weight of these assets. For instance, four unused slash commands might consume 8,000 tokens before you even type your first prompt. Identifying these "heavy" skills (some exceeding 1.2MB) allows for surgical cleanup. Syntax and Practical Usage You can interact with the organizer directly within the terminal via the custom skill it installs: ```markdown /ccco # Launches the organizer dashboard from within Claude Code ``` This workflow allows you to audit `config.json` files and view Markdown documentation for installed plugins without manual directory navigation. Tips & Gotchas Always check the **Plan Mode** history within the dashboard. Claude Code saves project plans in hidden directories; the organizer makes these accessible for re-use or auditing. If your token usage feels high, prioritize removing legacy MCP Servers that you no longer actively use, as they contribute to the initial context payload.
