What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the issue of overly large and unmanageable CLAUDE.md files by breaking them down into smaller, context-specific documentation files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Modularization: Extracts specific sections of large CLAUDE.md files into separate documentation.
  • Path-Scoped Rules: Implements glob patterns to load relevant documentation only when needed for specific file paths.
  • Use Case: Refactor a monolithic CLAUDE.md that contains detailed instructions for various UI components into smaller files, each loaded only when working on the corresponding UI code.

Quick Start

Use the claude-md-refactorer skill to refactor the CLAUDE.md file located at ./CLAUDE.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I modularize a large CLAUDE.md file for AI workflow?

Path-scoped loading rules use glob patterns to load relevant documentation only when working on specific file paths, preventing the AI from processing irrelevant context.

When do I need to refactor monolithic prompt documentation?

You need to refactor monolithic prompt documentation when your CLAUDE.md becomes overly large and unmanageable, applying modularization to break down detailed instructions into smaller context-specific files.

What is the best way to organize code instructions for AI assistants?

The best way to organize code instructions is modularization: extracting specific sections into separate documentation with path-scoped rules, so the AI assistant retrieves relevant instructions only when working on matching file paths.

Can I use glob patterns to load specific UI component instructions?

Yes, you can use glob patterns to load specific UI component instructions by refactoring a monolithic CLAUDE.md into smaller files, each loaded only when working on the corresponding UI code.

What do I need to define before refactoring CLAUDE.md?

Before refactoring CLAUDE.md, you need to define extraction candidates, recommend documentation names, specify content scope, establish path-scoped rules, and prepare replacement text for the original file.
