This walks you through installing Codemap CLI and wiring it into Claude Desktop with hooks that fire automatically during your coding sessions. It asks whether you want project level, personal, or global config, then gets the tool installed via Homebrew or Scoop, updates your CLAUDE.md with usage examples, and configures hooks like session start diffs and pre-edit import analysis. The hook system is the real value here. Instead of manually running codemap commands, you get automatic context about what changed, which files depend on what you're editing, and session timelines when you stop. It's opinionated about using diff mode to track changes, which makes sense if you're working in feature branches.

Guide for setup Codemap CLI

1. Determine setup context

Ask the user where they want to store the configuration:

Options:

  1. Project level (shared via git) - Configuration tracked in version control, shared with team

    • CLAUDE.md updates go to: ./CLAUDE.md
    • Hook settings go to: ./.claude/settings.json
  2. Project level (personal preferences) - Configuration stays local, not tracked in git

    • CLAUDE.md updates go to: ./CLAUDE.local.md
    • Hook settings go to: ./.claude/settings.local.json
    • Verify these files are listed in .gitignore, add them if not
  3. User level (global) - Configuration applies to all projects for this user

    • CLAUDE.md updates go to: ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
    • Hook settings go to: ~/.claude/settings.json

Store the user's choice and use the appropriate paths in subsequent steps.

2. Check if Codemap is already installed

Check whether codemap is installed by running codemap -help.

If not installed, proceed with setup.

3. Load Codemap documentation

Read the following documentation to understand Codemap's capabilities:
