Practical overview
When it fits
Use Claude Smart when a supported local coding assistant should carry useful corrections, repository rules and successful approaches into later sessions.
Who it is for
- Developers using Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode through local command-line tools.
- Teams or individuals who want assistants to retain repository-specific practices across sessions.
- Developers who want successful workflows and corrections translated into reusable guidance.
Documented uses
- Retain project-specific rules for future coding-assistant sessions.
- Turn corrections into actionable guidance intended to reduce repeated mistakes.
- Capture successful workflows so assistants can reuse established approaches.
- Keep project-scoped preferences separate from patterns shared across projects.
Requirements & limits
The documented installation requires Node.js 20 or later for npx and the selected host CLI on PATH. The repository also lists Python 3.12 or later. The project is licensed under Apache-2.0.
- Its supported hosts are Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode, with local plugin hooks required.
- Preferences can be scoped to a project, while shared skills are intended to transfer patterns across projects.
- The documentation places learned data in local directories and says it persists through uninstalling or switching hosts.
- The project does not support Claude Code Cowork, claude.ai/code web, or remote Codex environments without local plugin hooks.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install Claude Smart for Claude Code
Install the plugin for a local Claude Code setup and load it into a session.
Before you start
- Node.js 20 or later for npx
- The Claude Code CLI available on PATH
Steps
Run the command below.
npx claude-smart installIn an existing Claude Code session, run
/reload-plugins, or load the update in the next session.
Expected outcome
Claude Smart is installed for Claude Code and loaded after the documented reload or next-session step.
Guide limitations
- The documented setup applies to local Claude Code; Cowork and claude.ai/code web are not supported.
- The repository also lists Python 3.12 or later as a requirement.
Install Claude Smart for OpenCode
Install the plugin for a local OpenCode project and load it after restarting OpenCode.
Before you start
- Node.js 20 or later for npx
