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
