claude-md-generator

Generate claude.md files automatically by running the Skill on target directories. It analyzes the folder structure, inherits parent rules, and produces module-specific documentation using templates that populate Purpose, Key Patterns, Rules & Guidelines, Dependencies, and Usage Examples.

claude.md is a standardized documentation file that guides Claude's understanding of your module's context, patterns, and rules. It ensures consistent documentation across hierarchical codebases and enables Claude to inherit parent documentation while maintaining module-specific guidance.

Yes. The Skill applies hierarchical inheritance, automatically referencing parent claude.md files and inheriting parent rules while generating module-specific documentation. This maintains consistency across nested folder structures.

The Skill includes built-in validation that checks generated claude.md structure for correctness before output. It ensures all required sections are present and properly formatted according to your template.

The Skill loads templates from .claude/templates/claude-md-template.md and uses them to structure generated documentation. Templates define sections for Purpose, Key Patterns, Rules & Guidelines, Dependencies, and Usage Examples.

No. The Skill automates module onboarding by generating claude.md for new folders and components. This eliminates manual documentation steps while ensuring standardized structure and inheritance across your codebase.
