SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The CORE skill provides a consistent, auto-loaded foundation for every Claude Code session by pre-loading identity, response formats, and core operating principles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-load at session start: Preloads essential identity, stack preferences, and security guidelines to ensure consistent behavior.
  • Global routing context: Governs initial routing and prompts that shape all subsequent interactions.
  • Asset and memory defaults: Establishes default memory and asset references for consistent context loading.

Quick Start

Start Claude Code; CORE loads automatically at session start, establishing identity and base prompts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-load identity and operating principles at Claude Code session start?

Auto-loading identity and operating principles at Claude Code session start requires a core context skill that preloads stack preferences, security guidelines, and response formats. CORE handles this automatically when a session begins, ensuring consistent behavior without manual configuration.

What is foundational context routing and how does it work in a coding session?

Foundational context routing governs initial prompt processing by preloading identity, response formats, and operating principles at session start. It shapes subsequent interactions by establishing default memory references, asset management rules, and security guidelines that guide all routing decisions.

Can I establish default memory and asset references without manual setup each time?

Default memory and asset references can be established automatically by using CORE at session start. It preloads essential identity information and asset management defaults, eliminating the need for manual setup while ensuring consistent context loading across all Claude Code sessions.

Does CORE work across all sessions or only specific coding environments?

CORE applies globally across all Claude Code sessions whenever identity, response format, contacts, or asset management are needed. It loads automatically at session start regardless of the specific coding environment, providing consistent foundational context.

Why does my Claude Code session lack consistent identity and security guidelines?

Inconsistent identity and security guidelines occur when foundational context is not auto-loaded at session start. CORE resolves this by preloading stack preferences, security rules, and identity parameters automatically, ensuring every session begins with the same operating principles.
