Align Repo

Align Repo Conventions

Audit the current repo's .claude/settings.json and CLAUDE.md against team standards.

Execution Rules

• Execute the checklist strictly step by step.
• Present ONE item per message. Show its status, and if action is needed, ask and STOP.
• Do not present the next item until the user has responded.
• If an item is already aligned, say so and immediately proceed to the next item in the same message.
• If an item needs action, show current vs expected and ask: "Want me to align this?"
• Never batch multiple action items into one message.
• Never auto-apply changes — every modification requires explicit user confirmation.
• Merge, don't overwrite — add missing keys without clobbering existing ones.
• Preserve existing content in CLAUDE.md — don't remove or reorder existing sections.

Checklist

• 0. Self-update — Run: npx skills add https://github.com/apocohq/skills --skill align-repo -a claude-code -y. If updated, tell the user: "align-repo was updated. Please start a new session and re-run /align-repo to use the latest version." Stop — do not continue with outdated instructions.
• 1. Gather state — Read .claude/settings.json, CLAUDE.md, and check for .claude/settings.local.json (note existence, don't modify). If .claude/settings.json doesn't exist, ask if you should create it. If CLAUDE.md doesn't exist, ask if you should create it.
• 2. Attribution config — Check .claude/settings.json for the expected attribution block (see Reference A).
• 3. Allowed tools — Check allowedTools as a set (see Reference B). Report missing entries and flag extra entries (don't remove extras — they may be project-specific).
• 4. Worktrees convention — Check .gitignore includes .worktrees/. Check CLAUDE.md for a Worktrees section (see Reference C).
• 5. Architecture principles — Check CLAUDE.md for a Separation of Concerns & DRY section (see Reference D).
• 6. Commit conventions — Check CLAUDE.md for a Commit Conventions section covering all 5 items (see Reference E).
• 7. Meeting format — Skip if no meetings/ directory. Check CLAUDE.md for a Meeting Format section (see Reference F).
• 8. Recommend skills — Review repo purpose/tech stack. For each relevant skill from Reference G, explain why it fits and ask to install. Skip skills that don't match.
• 9. Check skill updates — Run npx skills check. If updates available, ask to run npx skills update. Skip if no skills-lock.json.
• 10. Summary — Print the alignment summary (see Reference H).

References

A. Expected attribution

{
  "attribution": {
    "commit": "Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com>",
    "pr": ""
  }
}

B. Expected allowed tools

{
  "allowedTools": [
    "Bash(git status*)",
    "Bash(git diff*)",
    "Bash(git log*)",
    "Bash(git fetch*)",
    "Bash(git branch*)",
    "Bash(git checkout -b *)",
    "Bash(git stash*)",
    "Bash(git add *)",
    "Bash(git commit *)",
    "Bash(gh issue view*)",
    "Bash(gh issue list*)",
    "Bash(gh pr view*)",
    "Bash(gh pr list*)",
    "Bash(ls:*)"
  ]
}

C. Expected worktrees convention

## Worktrees

Use `.worktrees/` for git worktrees. Branch naming follows commit conventions (e.g., `feat/session-history`).

### Setup

After creating a worktree, run project setup:

- **Node.js**: `pnpm install`
- **Python**: `uv sync`

### Verification

Run tests to confirm a clean baseline before starting work. If tests fail, report failures and ask before proceeding.

### Report

After setup, report: worktree path, test results, and readiness.

D. Expected architecture principles

## Separation of Concerns & DRY Principle

This system is a modular component system following the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. Each piece has a single responsibility. You should be able to swap out any component without rewriting others.

E. Expected commit conventions

## Commit Conventions

- **Conventional Commits**: `type(scope): short summary` — types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `refactor`, `test`, `chore`, `revert`, `style`, `perf`, `ci`, `build`.
- **Scope**: Optional but encouraged (e.g., `feat(ui):`, `fix(hook):`, `docs(design):`).
- **Body**: Optional concise bullet points for non-trivial changes.
- **Trailer**: Configured via `.claude/settings.json` `attribution` — do not add manually.
- **Branch naming**: `type/short-description` (e.g., `feat/session-history`, `fix/stale-timer`). Same type prefixes as commits.

F. Expected meeting format

## Meeting Format

---
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
attendees:
  - First Last
  - First Last
---

# Meeting Title

One concise paragraph summarizing the meeting.

## Transcript / Notes / Meeting Minutes

G. Available skills

Install command: npx skills add https://github.com/apocohq/skills --skill <skill-name> -a claude-code -y
