What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation and updating of per-repo context files to help Claude quickly understand repositories during conversations. It scans two developer directories, generates a standardized context per repository, and stores it under ~/.claude/repo-context/<repo-name>.md, enabling fast retrieval and reduced cognitive load.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover and catalog all Git repositories from ~/Developer/work/ and ~/Developer/personal/.
  • Create or refresh a per-repo context file at ~/.claude/repo-context/<repo-name>.md with a consistent structure.
  • Process repos in batches (up to 10 at a time) with parallel subagents for speed.
  • Update existing context files to reflect code changes, dependencies, and entry points.
  • Use case: you want Claude to summarize a repo's purpose, architecture, and tests before planning changes.

Quick Start

Run /repo-context to scan your developer directories and generate or refresh context files for each repository.
