SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill updates CLAUDE.md files and their child CLAUDE.md entries to improve context efficiency, structure, and maintainability across reviews and user requests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Refactor oversized CLAUDE.md sections into concise, loadable units.
  • Add design doc pointers and @ syntax references to reduce context load.
  • Create module-specific CLAUDE.md that guides targeted workstreams while preserving global context.

Quick Start

Run the context-update workflow to refactor CLAUDE.md files and inject design-doc pointers as needed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor large CLAUDE.md files to improve context efficiency?

Refactoring large CLAUDE.md files improves context efficiency by breaking oversized sections into concise, loadable units and adding design-doc pointers to reduce context load. This process restructures documentation for faster load times and clearer module-specific guidance.

When do I need to create module-specific CLAUDE.md files?

Creating module-specific CLAUDE.md files is needed when guiding targeted workstreams while preserving global context. This approach maintains consistent frontmatter and fork-safe operations so documentation updates remain scalable and recoverable across modules.

Does the context-update workflow support fork-safe operations across modules?

Yes, the context-update workflow supports fork-safe operations by enforcing consistent frontmatter and load-time pointers across forks and modules. This ensures context updates remain scalable and recoverable when applying changes to child CLAUDE.md entries.

What is the best way to add design doc pointers to existing documentation?

The best way to add design doc pointers is by injecting @ syntax references directly into CLAUDE.md files during a context update. This reduces context load by pointing to external design docs rather than embedding large sections inline.

How do I update CLAUDE.md context across multiple forks without breaking load-time pointers?

Updating CLAUDE.md context across forks requires enforcing consistent frontmatter and load-time pointers during the refactor process. This ensures that context updates remain scalable and recoverable while applying changes across child CLAUDE.md entries.
