Changes

  • ✨ Add --merge flag to merge with existing .claude/ directory
  • 🎯 Interactive mode now offers: Overwrite, Merge, or Cancel
  • 🔧 Smart file merging for agents, commands, hooks, and skills
  • 💾 Skip existing files to preserve user customizations
  • 📊 Clear feedback showing files added vs. skipped
  • 📝 Update README with merge examples and behavior

Problem Solved

Fixes issue where re-running installation would overwrite all custom agents, commands, and settings. Users can now safely test the installation on existing repos without losing their customizations.

Usage Examples

```bash

Interactive merge

npx github:blencorp/claude-code-kit

Automatic merge mode

npx github:blencorp/claude-code-kit -- --merge

Force overwrite (previous behavior)

npx github:blencorp/claude-code-kit -- --force
```

Testing

Tested with merge mode to verify:

  • Existing files are preserved
  • New files are added
  • Settings.json hooks are merged without duplicating
  • Clear feedback on what was added vs. skipped
