Overview

This PR introduces the Claude Code Launcher, a complete, production-ready Windows CLI application that brings Anthropic's Claude AI capabilities to developers on Windows via PowerShell.

What This Adds

A lightweight, feature-rich command-line interface with 14 interactive menu options that integrates Claude's AI models for intelligent code analysis, development workflows, and security scanning.

Key Features

  • Code Review - Automated pull request and code analysis
  • Feature Development - Guided 7-phase feature development workflow
  • Security Scanning - Vulnerability detection and security pattern analysis
  • Git Integration - Smart commit messages and PR automation
  • Project Analysis - Codebase statistics and structure analysis
  • Configuration System - Full customization capabilities
  • Plugin Management - Extensible architecture for adding custom tools
  • Interactive Menu - User-friendly 14-option command menu

Why This Matters

Developers on Windows can now leverage Claude's capabilities directly from their terminal without complex setup. The tool integrates with their existing git workflows and development processes.

Technical Details

Implementation:

  • PowerShell-native application (PowerShell 5.0+)
  • Multiple launch methods: .ps1, .bat, .vbs, Windows shortcut
  • Zero external dependencies beyond PowerShell
  • Configuration-driven architecture
  • ~96 KB total package size

Architecture:

  • Interactive menu system with 14 options
  • Modular command structure
  • Configuration management via JSON
  • Plugin system support
  • Git integration capabilities

Files Changed

  • .claude/commands/commit-push-pr.md - Command metadata updates
