Claude Md Init

CLAUDE.md Generator

When to use

Use when a repository needs a CLAUDE.md file so Claude Code automatically understands the project's structure, commands, and conventions at session start.

Procedure

1. Copy the template to the repo root:

cp .agent/skills/claude-md-init/templates/CLAUDE.md.template CLAUDE.md

2. Replace the placeholders:

   • ${PROJECT_NAME} -- repo or project name
   • ${PROJECT_DESCRIPTION} -- one-line description
   • Fill in the Architecture, Commands, and Constraints sections

3. Scan the repo and add relevant details:

   • Key directories and their purpose
   • Build/test/lint commands (from Makefile, package.json, etc.)
   • Available skills (if PACK is deployed)
   • Project-specific constraints and conventions

4. Verify Claude Code picks it up:

cat CLAUDE.md

Inputs and outputs

• Inputs: Repository with established structure, optional .agent/ directory
• Outputs: CLAUDE.md at the repo root

Constraints

• Keep it concise -- Claude Code loads this on every interaction
• Do not duplicate content that lives in other files -- reference them instead
• ASCII-only

Examples

• $claude-md-init
