SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Improve discoverability, accuracy, and actionability of CLAUDE.md files so Claude Code sessions have reliable, concise project context and users avoid repetitive setup or debugging steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repository-wide discovery: Finds CLAUDE.md, .claude.md, .claude.local.md, and package-level CLAUDE.md files across monorepos and single-repo projects.
  • Quality assessment & reporting: Scores files against a clear rubric (commands, architecture, gotchas, conciseness, currency, actionability) and outputs per-file diagnostics and recommendations.
  • Targeted, minimal updates: Proposes diffs that preserve structure, requests explicit user approval, and applies only the approved edits to improve commands, gotchas, and environment notes.
  • Use case: When onboarding a repository or preparing a project for Claude automation, run a full CLAUDE.md audit to surface missing commands, stale instructions, and actionable edits.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to "Scan this repository for all CLAUDE.md files, produce a per-file quality report, and propose minimal diffs to improve actionable commands and gotchas."

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit CLAUDE.md files in my repository for quality and consistency?

Auditing CLAUDE.md files involves scanning your repository to discover all project-level and package-level context files, scoring them against a rubric for commands and architecture, and generating per-file quality diagnostics with actionable recommendations.

What makes a CLAUDE.md file effective for Claude Code sessions?

An effective CLAUDE.md file provides reliable, concise project context by including actionable commands, architectural notes, and project gotchas. It should be current, structured, and free of stale instructions to prevent repetitive setup or debugging steps during automation.

Can I check CLAUDE.md files across a monorepo with package-specific overrides?

Yes, repository-wide discovery finds CLAUDE.md, .claude.md, .claude.local.md, and package-level CLAUDE.md files across monorepos. The audit assesses each file individually, ensuring local overrides and package-specific contexts maintain quality and consistency.

How do I update project context files without losing existing structure?

To update project context files safely, the audit proposes minimal targeted diffs that preserve the existing file structure. It requires explicit user approval before applying any edits via repository edit tools, ensuring only approved changes are applied.

What is the best way to improve actionable commands and gotchas in CLAUDE.md?

The best way to improve actionable commands and gotchas in CLAUDE.md is to run a full repository audit that surfaces missing commands and stale instructions, then apply proposed minimal diffs to enhance environment notes and project-specific pitfalls.

Does the CLAUDE.md audit apply edits automatically without user approval?

No, the CLAUDE.md audit does not apply edits automatically. It generates detailed per-file quality reports and proposes targeted updates, but requires explicit user approval before applying any modifications via repository edit tools.
