CLAUDE MD Initializer#

Use this skill when a repo needs onboarding documentation for future agent sessions.

Workflow#

1. Read the repository structure, README, existing instructions, and tooling config.
2. Identify key build, test, and run commands.
3. Summarize the high-level architecture and important conventions.
4. Create or improve CLAUDE.md without stuffing it with generic advice.
5. Suggest follow-on skills, hooks, or verifier setup if they materially help.

Guardrails#

• Do not invent commands or conventions.
• Focus on repo-specific knowledge, not generic coding advice.
• Keep the file practical for future agent sessions.

Example Requests#

• Analyze this repo and produce a strong CLAUDE.md for future agent sessions.
• Upgrade the existing CLAUDE.md so future coding agents onboard faster.

Inputs#

• Repository structure
• Existing docs and config
• Important commands and conventions

Outputs#

• New or improved CLAUDE.md
• Optional follow-up recommendations

Success Criteria#

• Repo-specific commands are captured correctly.
• Architecture notes are practical, not generic.
• The file helps future agents move faster.

Non-Goals#

• Generic engineering advice
• Invented commands or undocumented workflows
