System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams generate a lean CLAUDE.md for a repository from scratch, consolidating scanning, interviewing, and decision-making into a compact, high-signal document under 80 lines (120 hard cap).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous repo scan to gather mechanical content (manifests, structure, configs, git history, existing docs).
  • A focused 6-question interview to capture judgment content (WHY, gotchas, out-of-scope, approval gates, testing philosophy, external docs like Confluence pages).
  • Enforces an 80-line target; splits oversized sections into agent_docs/*.md when needed; writes CLAUDE.md at repo root.
  • NOT for auditing or incremental improvements; this is the bootstrap workflow for a fresh CLAUDE.md.

Quick Start

Ask Claude Code to generate a CLAUDE.md for your repository by running the bootstrap workflow.
