FAQPage Schema
How do I generate CLAUDE.md files for my repository?

To generate CLAUDE.md files, you can run the /claudemd:init command to automatically analyze repository structure and create root and module-level context files for AI agents.

What is CLAUDE.md context budget management for AI agents?

CLAUDE.md context budget management optimizes AI agent context loading by defining a hierarchy of files, allowing on-demand loading of module-specific documentation to reduce token usage.

How do I set up cross-cutting rules for AI code generation in my repository?

You can define cross-cutting rules for AI code generation by creating files within the .claude/rules/ directory, which are applied alongside the generated CLAUDE.md hierarchy.

Can I generate module-level documentation for a large codebase in parallel?

Yes, this Skill supports parallel generation of module-level CLAUDE.md files by analyzing code signals and semantic criteria, streamlining documentation creation across large repositories.

When do I need to create a CLAUDE.md hierarchy for my codebase?

You need a CLAUDE.md hierarchy when onboarding an AI agent to a new or existing project to establish well-defined context, improving codebase understanding and performance from the outset.
