SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill guides the creation of Claude Code configuration for a project, including a CLAUDE.md, targeted rules, and a prioritized set of skills that reflect observed codebase patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initial mode: detects absence of CLAUDE.md and .claude/ and generates a full onboarding configuration from scratch.
  • Update mode: audits existing .claude/ configuration and proposes targeted patches to drift or gaps.
  • Grounded outputs: artifacts (CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md, rules) are tailored to the project's observed conventions and patterns.

Quick Start

Run /claude-tweaks:codebase-onboarding to bootstrap the project onboarding artifacts.
