SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the initial setup of a new paper project by generating a project-scoped CLAUDE.md that records the research topic, submission targets, terminology protections, file structure, writing style, and supervisor preferences.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project bootstrap: creates a complete CLAUDE.md at the start of a project to establish a persistent memory.
  • Six-field capture: ensures topic, submission targets, terminology list, directory/file layout, writing style, and supervisor preferences are documented.
  • Consistency across sessions: provides a ready-to-load context for AI-assisted writing across multiple sessions and team members.
  • Use Case: starting a new paper project and needing a ready-made memory template before any writing begins.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a CLAUDE.md file for a new paper project?

To initialize CLAUDE.md for a new paper project, request the bootstrap skill to generate a project-scoped file capturing research topics, submission targets, terminology, file structure, writing style, and supervisor preferences.

What context should I document for AI-assisted research writing?

For AI-assisted research writing, you should document six core fields in CLAUDE.md: research topic, submission targets, terminology protections, directory layout, writing style, and supervisor preferences to maintain consistency across sessions.

Can I update the CLAUDE.md file if my research project supervisor preferences change?

Yes, you can update CLAUDE.md when supervisor preferences or project details change. The bootstrap skill supports ongoing updates to ensure the AI-assisted writing context remains complete and accurate.

What's the best way to ensure terminology consistency across multiple AI writing sessions?

The best way to ensure terminology consistency across multiple AI writing sessions is to record a terminology list within a project-scoped CLAUDE.md file that provides a ready-to-load persistent memory context.

Does paper-claude-md-bootstrap work for existing research projects or only new ones?

The bootstrap skill works for both new paper projects and existing ones whenever a CLAUDE.md file is missing, ensuring no work proceeds without a complete background context for AI-assisted writing.
