SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents Claude Code from underperforming by identifying missing or poorly structured repo context, misconfigured settings, and weak @import hygiene before you start an agentic workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repository audit for Claude Code readiness: evaluates CLAUDE.md files (discovery, headings, and @imports) plus project organization patterns that affect agent navigation.
  • Configuration and integration checks: inspects Claude Code settings (permissions/custom instructions) and MCP configuration inventory.
  • Actionable optimization reporting: produces a prioritized report that recommends incremental improvements while defaulting to audit-only to avoid unintended edits.

Quick Start

Run python scripts/audit_repo.py --root . --include-user-scope from the repository root to generate an audit report and suggested improvements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my repository for Claude Code readiness?

To audit Claude Code readiness, run the provided Python audit script from your repository root to evaluate CLAUDE.md files, settings, and MCP configurations, generating a JSON report with prioritized issues and recommendations.

What does a Claude Code readiness audit check for?

A Claude Code readiness audit checks for missing or poorly structured repository context, evaluating CLAUDE.md memory file discovery, headings, @import hygiene, project organization, agent configuration, and MCP inventory.

Do I need a CLAUDE.md file to prepare my repo for agentic workflows?

A CLAUDE.md file is essential for agentic workflows because it provides the repository context Claude Code needs to navigate safely, and auditing its structure prevents the agent from underperforming due to missing memory files.

Can I review Claude Code settings and MCP configuration without modifying my files?

You can review Claude Code settings and MCP configuration safely because the audit script defaults to read-only mode, generating a prioritized report of suggested improvements without applying unintended file modifications.

What's the best way to fix weak @import hygiene in CLAUDE.md files?

The best way to fix weak @import hygiene is to run the repository audit script to identify poorly structured CLAUDE.md @imports, then follow the prioritized JSON report to apply incremental improvements.

Why does Claude Code underperform when navigating my project structure?

Claude Code underperforms when repository context is missing, settings are misconfigured, or @import hygiene is weak, making it difficult for the agent to navigate project organization patterns during agentic workflows.
