---

Adaptive AI coding assistant configurator for Claude Code. Scans your project, detects the stack (95+ project types), selects the right hooks/MCPs/skills, and configures everything automatically.

Getting Started

npm i -g puiux-pilot
cd your-project
puiux-pilot init            # dry-run: shows what it would do
puiux-pilot init --apply    # apply changes (backup created first)

More commands

puiux-pilot scan            # project DNA without changes
puiux-pilot score           # quality score (0-100, A-F)
puiux-pilot doctor          # health check
puiux-pilot eject           # clean removal

Commands

Command	What it does
init	Scan project, select hooks/MCPs/skills, show plan. Dry-run by default.
init --apply	Write changes (backup created first).
init --force	Overwrite user-modified hooks.
scan [path]	Analyze project without changing anything. Shows Project DNA.
score [path]	Quality assessment: 6 dimensions, 0-100, A-F grade.
doctor	Health check: broken hooks, missing scripts, timeouts, orphans.
hooks list	List all hooks with status.
translate	[EXPERIMENTAL] Translate config between AI coding tools.
eject	Clean removal. Restores original state from backup.

Safety Model

• Dry-run by default — init shows what would change without writing anything.
• Backup before every apply — stored in ~/.puiux-pilot/backups/<timestamp>/.
• Atomic writes — temp file + rename; no partial writes on crash.
• Rollback on failure — if any step fails, previous state is restored.
• Manifest-scoped uninstall — eject only removes hooks Pilot installed. User hooks, permissions, and MCP configs are never touched.
• No cloud dependency — everything runs locally.

What Gets Installed

Based on your project type, Pilot selects from:

• 28 hook scripts across 6 events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SessionStart, PreCompact, UserPromptSubmit)
• 7 profiles: full-stack, api-only, library, security-first, mobile, startup-speed, infra
• MCP auto-detection: ESLint, Prisma, Tailwind CSS, icons8, lottiefiles — based on actual dependencies
• Skills: clean-code, e2e-delivery, code-quality, design-standards, and more

Example: a Next.js webapp gets 28 hooks + 4 MCPs. A Node API gets 18 hooks + 0 MCPs.

CI

GitHub Actions workflow runs on every push to main:

Job	OS	What
build-and-test	ubuntu, windows, macos × node 18, 22	Build + unit tests + CLI smoke
release-gates	ubuntu, macos	Full gates: 72 assertions (cold-start, repo matrix, custom hooks, failure injection)
smoke-windows	windows	Lightweight smoke: scan, init, apply, idempotency, doctor, eject

Run gates locally: bash tools/release-gates.sh (uses sandboxed HOME, never touches real ~/.claude).

Translate (EXPERIMENTAL)

Cross-tool config translation between: CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .clinerules, .windsurfrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, CONVENTIONS.md.

# Auto-detect source, generate all missing formats
node bin/puiux-pilot.mjs translate --auto

# Specific translation
node bin/puiux-pilot.mjs translate --from claude --to cursor

This feature is experimental. Round-trip fidelity is best-effort; tool-specific rules are preserved as comments.
