Turbo Flow Wizard

Overview

The turbo-flow-wizard.sh script is an interactive setup wizard that generates project-specific configuration files for Claude integration. It guides users through a series of questions about their project and automatically generates a CLAUDE.pre file that can be merged with existing CLAUDE.md configuration.

IMPORTANT: Execute this from your claude working directory so the API credentials are passed along.

Purpose

The wizard is designed to:

• Detect project requirements through interactive questions
• Generate tailored Claude configuration based on user responses
• Automate the setup of Claude Code with project-specific settings
• Integrate with the claude-flow.wiki repository for comprehensive documentation

Prerequisites

Required

• Git - Required for cloning the claude-flow.wiki repository
• Bash - Compatible shell environment
• Internet Connection - Required for initial wiki repository clone

Optional (for full functionality)

• Claude CLI - Required for automatic merge functionality
  • Install via: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Usage

Basic Execution

# Run the wizard
./turbo-flow-wizard.sh

Permissions

Make sure the script is executable:

chmod +x turbo-flow-wizard.sh

Workflow

The wizard follows a 5-step process:

1. Setup Wiki Repository - Clones or updates the claude-flow.wiki repository
2. Interactive Questions - Collects project information
3. Generate CLAUDE.pre - Creates project-specific configuration
4. Claude Merge - Automatically merges configurations (if Claude CLI is available)
5. Completion - Displays results and cleanup

Generated Files

CLAUDE.pre

The wizard generates a CLAUDE.pre file containing:

# Project Configuration

- Technology Stack: [frontend + backend + database]
- Development Methodology: [chosen methodology]
- Features: [selected features]
- Integration instructions for Claude

Integration Process

Automatic Merge (Recommended)

If the Claude CLI is installed, the wizard automatically executes:

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions "Please merge CLAUDE.pre, CLAUDE.md, and CLAUDE.md.OLD into an optimized CLAUDE.md"

The merge process:

1. Preserves critical configurations from all three files
2. Integrates new project-specific settings
3. Optimizes for the detected project type
4. Cleans up temporary files

Manual Merge (Fallback)

If Claude CLI is not available, the wizard provides a manual command:

claude "Please merge CLAUDE.pre, CLAUDE.md, and CLAUDE.md.OLD into an optimized CLAUDE.md"

Configuration Variables

The wizard sets these internal variables based on user responses:

• APP_CATEGORY - High-level category (web, api, mobile, etc.)
• APP_TYPE - Specific type (fullstack, microservice, etc.)
• FRONTEND - Frontend framework
• BACKEND - Backend framework
• DATABASE - Database choice
• METHODOLOGY - Development approach
• FEATURES - Array of selected features
• SESSION_ID - Unique session identifier

Error Handling

The wizard includes comprehensive error handling:

• Git not found - Provides manual clone instructions
• Network issues - Continues with existing wiki if available
• Invalid input - Re-prompts for valid choices
• Permission issues - Clear error messages and resolution steps

Logging and Output

The wizard uses color-coded logging:

• 🔵 INFO ([INFO]) - General information messages
• 🟡 WARN ([WARN]) - Warning messages
• 🔴 ERROR ([ERROR]) - Error messages
• 🟢 SUCCESS ([SUCCESS]) - Success messages

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Git not installed

   # Install git (Ubuntu/Debian)
   sudo apt-get install git
   
   # Install git (macOS)
   brew install git
   

2. Claude CLI not found

   # Install Claude CLI
   npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
   

3. Permission denied

   # Make script executable
   chmod +x turbo-flow-wizard.sh
   

4. Wiki repository issues

   • The wizard automatically handles missing wiki repositories
   • Existing wiki repositories are updated if possible
   • Script continues with existing version if update fails

Manual Recovery

If the wizard fails, you can:

1. Manually clone the wiki repository
2. Run the wizard again
3. Manually merge generated files

# Manual wiki setup
git clone https://github.com/ruvnet/claude-flow.wiki.git claude-flow.wiki

# Restart wizard
./turbo-flow-wizard.sh

Best Practices

1. Run from project root - Execute the wizard from your project's root directory
2. Backup existing configuration - The wizard automatically creates CLAUDE.md.OLD
3. Review generated configuration - Check CLAUDE.pre before automatic merge
4. Commit changes - After merge, commit the updated CLAUDE.md to version control
