Option A: Plugin Install

The easiest way. Use Claude Code's built-in plugin system.

This installs to your project's .claude/ directory.

Option B: One-Line Install

For terminal users who prefer shell scripts.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/claude-world/director-mode-lite/main/install.sh | bash -s .

The . at the end installs to the current directory.

Option C: Try Demo First

Want to test before installing in your project?

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/claude-world/director-mode-lite.git
cd director-mode-lite

# Run demo in a temp directory
./demo.sh ~/director-mode-demo

Creates a sandbox environment for testing.
