SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Synchronizes Jerry's canonical context rules from the source (.context) into Claude Code's read location (.claude) to prevent context drift and keep guardrails current.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Platform-aware linking (symlinks, junctions, or file copies) to align contexts across platforms.
  • Drift detection to verify synchronization after updates.
  • Idempotent setup with safe re-runs and a --force option to overwrite when needed.
  • Validation mode to assess readiness without making changes.

Quick Start

Execute the bootstrap script to synchronize .context rules with .claude using uv run python scripts/bootstrap_context.py

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync context rules to prevent Claude Code context drift?

You can sync context rules by executing a bootstrap script that aligns Jerry's canonical behavioral rules from the source directory into Claude Code's read location. This prevents context drift and keeps guardrails current across different environments.

How do I set up Jerry rules across different operating systems?

Cross-platform setup is handled by platform-aware linking. The bootstrap process automatically implements symlinks, junctions, or file copies to align Jerry's context rules based on your specific operating system requirements.

Can I check if context synchronization is needed without making changes?

Yes, you can assess readiness without making changes. The bootstrap workflow supports validation mode to detect context drift and verify synchronization status before any modifications are applied to your environment.

Is it safe to run the context bootstrap script multiple times?

Yes, running the context bootstrap script multiple times is safe because it implements an idempotent workflow. You can safely re-run it after updates, and use a force option to overwrite existing files when necessary.

How do I migrate Claude Code context rules to a new machine?

To migrate context rules to a new machine, execute the bootstrap script to synchronize Jerry's behavioral patterns from the canonical source. This ensures rule visibility and prevents context drift across cross-machine migrations.
