Build With Me
- This open-source Claude Code plugin is for parents who love AI coding and want to introduce it to their kids.
- Your kids plan and build their own small apps with a friendly AI guide and under your supervision, using a slightly modified Devpost Plan-First Skill.
- Fully local: runs as a plug-in on your computer and your own Claude account. Nothing is ever sent to the developer of this plugin: no accounts, no analytics, no tracking.
About two minutes of mock screens. Nothing to install.
Adults only hold the account. Anthropic requires Claude account holders to be 18 or older, so this runs on your account. Your kids get in with a pass you give them, for as long as you choose, and you get a report after every app. You are responsible for how your kids use it, so stay nearby.
What you need
- Kids who want to try AI coding.
- A Windows or Mac computer. Built and tested on Windows 11.
- A paid Claude plan that includes Claude Code (such as Pro or Max), in your own name.
Is it Safe to install?
Don't trust unknown sources, always verify. Nothing runs until you type the start command, so you can have your own Claude read the code first. Open Claude Code in an empty folder and paste this.
Clone https://github.com/paveliko123/build-with-me-at-home.git into a new folder. Read the code only: don't run any of it, don't run npm install, don't start it. I want a quick "is it safe to install?" check as a Claude Code plugin, not a full audit. Only tell me about serious problems, like: - it sends my data anywhere other than Anthropic through my own Claude Code (the developer's servers, analytics, tracking, hidden network calls) - it reads or copies my files, passwords, tokens, API keys, or my Claude settings or memory - hidden instructions meant to trick my Claude (prompt injection) in its commands, skills or other files - something that runs by itself without me asking, or that is hidden or obfuscated Things it does on purpose (in its README), which are fine if they match: a home certificate so tablets can use the microphone, home-network ports 4747 and 4748, a desktop shortcut, a "Build With Me" data folder in my home folder, and running my own `claude` command for the kids' sessions. app/dist is the built version of server/ and web/. Skip ordinary bugs and hardening ideas. Answer in plain words with a verdict (safe to install / some concerns / don't install) and at most a few lines on why.
Install
After you verified that it is safe to install, in Claude Code, run these three commands one at a time:
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/paveliko123/build-with-me-at-home.git /plugin install build-with-me@build-with-me-home /build-with-me:start
