Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Overview & Architecture: Generate a high-level description and an ASCII architecture diagram.
  • Tech Stack & Standards: Identify frameworks, languages, and coding conventions.
  • Development Workflow: Outline repository structure, contribution guidelines, and release processes.
  • Sub-Agents: Propose possible sub-agents to extend the CLAUDE.md.

Quick Start

Use the init skill to scan the repository and generate CLAUDE.md at the project root.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically generate CLAUDE.md documentation from my codebase?

The init Skill scans your repository structure, identifies your tech stack and coding standards, and automatically generates a comprehensive CLAUDE.md file at your project root with architecture diagrams, development workflow, and key files—eliminating manual documentation work.

What does CLAUDE.md documentation include?

CLAUDE.md includes a project overview, ASCII architecture diagram, identified tech stack and frameworks, coding standards and conventions, key files and directories, development workflow guidelines, and proposed sub-agents for extending the documentation.

Can I use init to document projects with multiple technology stacks?

Yes, init applies across diverse projects by scanning repository structure and identifying all frameworks and languages present, then assembling standardized documentation that captures your specific tech stack configuration.

What preparation is needed before running init on my repository?

No special setup is required—init works directly on your codebase as-is. It traverses your repository structure, extracts documentation from existing files, and generates CLAUDE.md, working with projects in any language or framework.

How does init identify coding standards in my project?

Init analyzes your codebase to detect coding conventions, style patterns, and standards already in use, then documents them in CLAUDE.md to establish consistent guidelines for your team and future contributors.
