project-setup

To scaffold a project architecture with Claude agent configuration, run the setup command to auto-generate a standardized .claude directory, CLAUDE.md, and agent templates. It detects your project type and creates the necessary files for immediate onboarding.

A .claude project structure is a standardized directory containing CLAUDE.md, settings, memory, and agents that enables Neural Claude Code capabilities. You need it when starting a fresh software project or onboarding a team to ensure consistent agent-ready architecture.

Yes, you can add Claude agent templates to an existing project safely. The setup process uses a safe overwrite policy by default, preserving your current files. You can use the --force flag only if you want to override existing configuration.

Yes, the project scaffolding tool supports different programming languages. It features automatic project-type detection, allowing it to adapt the generated configuration files and directory scaffolding across various language environments.

The difference between minimal, standard, and full project setup options lies in the scope of generated files. Minimal provides basic configuration, standard adds common templates, and full provisions a complete architecture with memory, data, and expertise directories.

To preview project scaffolding changes before writing files, use the dry-run mode. This allows you to review the planned directory structure and file creation actions safely without modifying your actual project environment.
