FAQPage Schema
How do I generate localized CLAUDE.md files for specific codebase directories?

To generate localized CLAUDE.md files, this Skill systematically analyzes your codebase structure, architectural relationships, conventions, and key decisions to create focused documentation for AI agents. It targets specific directories or modules to provide essential context.

What is the SMED methodology for codebase analysis and documentation?

The SMED methodology is a systematic code analysis approach used to evaluate structural overviews and architectural relationships. It supports the creation of localized CLAUDE.md files by ensuring focused documentation captures the 'why' and 'how' of specific code sections.

When do I need to create a CLAUDE.md file for my code modules?

You need to create a CLAUDE.md file when working on new features within large microservices or complex codebases. It ensures AI agents understand the purpose, boundaries, and conventions of specific directories, providing essential context for accurate code generation.

Can I use this to document architectural relationships in a microservice directory?

Yes, you can document architectural relationships in a microservice directory. The Skill analyzes these relationships alongside conventions and key decisions to produce concise context files that explain the structural overview and boundaries of your code components.

Does generating AI context documentation require any external dependencies?

No external dependencies are required to generate AI context documentation. The Skill operates independently using its internal scripts and references to analyze your codebase and output the localized CLAUDE.md files for your target directories.
