codebase-onboarding

To analyze a codebase and generate an onboarding guide, this Skill automates package manifest detection, framework fingerprinting, and directory structure analysis. It produces a structured guide featuring architecture maps, key entry points, and a starter CLAUDE.md file.

Identifying a tech stack and architecture is automated by scanning the codebase for package manifests and fingerprinting frameworks. This process maps conventions and highlights key directory structures to help you understand the project quickly.

Yes, you can use this to set up Claude Code for an existing project. It generates a starter CLAUDE.md file containing your codebase's architecture, conventions, and key entry points, providing Claude Code with structured context.

Framework fingerprinting works by examining package manifests and directory structures to detect the specific frameworks and technologies used in a codebase. This identifies the tech stack and architectural conventions automatically.

No external dependencies are required to run a codebase analysis. The Skill operates using internal scripts and references to detect package manifests, fingerprint frameworks, and map the directory structure without prior setup.

The generated onboarding guide includes a comprehensive architecture map, identified tech stack, coding conventions, and key entry points. It also contains a starter CLAUDE.md file to help developers quickly integrate into the new codebase.
