What is generated when initializing the Claude Code lifecycle in a project?▼

Initializing the Claude Code lifecycle generates a CLAUDE.md file and initializes the .prd/ state, context, and rules scaffolding. It also creates a project structure with .context/ and supports optional resources like scripts/ and references/.

Can I use the bootstrap process on an older repository that needs upgrading?▼

Yes, the bootstrap process applies to both starting from scratch and upgrading an older repo. It guides a lightweight intake to tailor CLAUDE.md and PRD initialization specifically to the existing project's stack patterns.

Does the bootstrap process support optional resources like scripts and references?▼

Yes, the bootstrap process supports optional resources in scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories. These are generated on-demand to assist with various tasks during the Claude Code lifecycle.

What's the best way to prepare a project for Claude Code automation?▼

The best way to prepare a project for Claude Code automation is running a guided intake process that tailors CLAUDE.md and PRD initialization. This satisfies frontmatter validation and generates the necessary project structure.
