Personal AI Infrastructure (PAI)

A skills-based context management system for Claude Code. PAI extends Claude Code with domain-specific knowledge, custom workflows, and automated session management - focused on automotive manufacturing operations.

What is PAI?

PAI is a personal AI infrastructure layer that sits on top of Claude Code, providing:

• Skills System - Modular context packages that load relevant knowledge on-demand
• Hook System - Event-driven automation for session lifecycle management
• Memory System - Session history, learnings, and signal capture
• Custom Commands - Slash commands for common workflows

This repository contains 39 automotive manufacturing skills covering IATF 16949 quality management, CNC operations, damper engineering, business operations, and plant management.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated
• Bun runtime (for hooks and tools)
• macOS or Linux (Windows via WSL)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/robdtaylor/personal-ai-infrastructure.git ~/.claude

Note: If you already have a ~/.claude directory, back it up first:

mv ~/.claude ~/.claude-backup

2. Copy and configure settings

cd ~/.claude
cp settings.json.template settings.json

Edit settings.json to customize:

• Environment variables
• Hook configurations
• Permission settings

3. Install dependencies

# Install Bun if not already installed
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

# Install hook dependencies
cd ~/.claude/hooks && bun install

4. Verify installation

claude

You should see the PAI context load at session start.

General Utility

Creating Custom Skills

Skills are modular context packages. Create a new skill:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/MySkill

Create SKILL.md:

---
name: MySkill
description: Brief description. USE WHEN user says 'keyword1', 'keyword2'.
---

# MySkill

## Overview
What this skill does...

## Workflows
- WorkflowName: Description

## Reference
Key information the AI should know...

Regenerate the skill index:

bun run ~/.claude/tools/GenerateSkillIndex.ts

Hooks

PAI uses Claude Code's hook system for automation:

Configure hooks in settings.json.

Custom Commands

Slash commands are defined in ~/.claude/commands/. Example:

# /mycommand

Description of what this command does.

## Instructions

Steps for the AI to follow...

Configuration

Environment Variables

Set in settings.json under env:

{
  "env": {
    "PAI_DIR": "$HOME/.claude",
    "TIME_ZONE": "Europe/London"
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Hooks not running

1. Check Bun is installed: bun --version
2. Verify hook paths in settings.json
3. Check hook file permissions: chmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/*.ts

Skills not loading

1. Regenerate skill index: bun run ~/.claude/tools/GenerateSkillIndex.ts
2. Check skill has valid YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md
