# CC Commander: AI project manager built on Claude Code

> CC Commander adds 450+ skills and an Intelligence Layer to Claude Code, auto-selecting model and budget while compounding knowledge across every session.

CC Commander is an AI project manager that sits on top of Claude Code. Instead of typing prompts into a blank terminal and hoping for the best, you get a guided, arrow-key menu with 450+ on-demand skills, automatic model and budget selection, and a knowledge engine that compounds everything it learns across your sessions. One install. No configuration. The longer you use it, the smarter it gets.

## Why CC Commander exists

Stock Claude Code starts each session from zero — no memory of what worked, no awareness of your stack, and no guidance on which tool to reach for. It also burns context fast: verbose tool output consumes tokens you could be spending on actual work.

CC Commander fixes all of this. Before dispatching a single token, it reads your project, scores your task, pulls relevant lessons from past sessions, and auto-selects the right model and budget. When the session ends, it extracts patterns and errors so the next dispatch is better-informed than the last.

## What's included

CC Commander ships everything in a single install. Here is what you get out of the box.

| Component       | Count | What it does                                                                               |

## How the Intelligence Layer works

The Intelligence Layer runs four modules before every dispatch.

**Weighted complexity scoring** — every task is scored 0–100 using 47 keyword signals, word count, and fuzzy regex matching. The score drives model selection and token budget automatically:

```text theme={null}
"fix typo"             → score  0  → 10 turns, $1 budget, Haiku
"add dark mode"        → score 25  → 20 turns, $3 budget, Sonnet
"refactor auth module" → score 60  → 35 turns, $6 budget, Sonnet
"build SaaS platform"  → score 100 → 50 turns, $10 budget, Opus
```

**Stack detection** — CC Commander reads `package.json`, `Dockerfile`, `go.mod`, and `requirements.txt` before every dispatch, detects your framework, reads your current git branch, and flags monorepo patterns.

**Skill recommendations** — skills are ranked by stack match, task keyword overlap, and your personal usage history. Skills that led to successful sessions rank higher over time.

**Knowledge compounding** — every completed session extracts a lesson (keywords, stack, error patterns, success patterns) stored in `~/.claude/commander/`. The next dispatch searches this store with time-decay relevance: lessons under 7 days old carry 2× weight, under 30 days 1.5×, older lessons 1×.

## What you need

* **Node.js 18 or later** — required for the `ccc` CLI and the installer
* **Claude Code CLI** — installed automatically if not already present

<Note>
  tmux is recommended for Split Mode, which runs the CCC menu and each Claude session in separate terminal windows. Install with `brew install tmux` on macOS or `apt install tmux` on Linux. Split Mode is optional — CC Commander works fully without it.
