FAQPage Schema

How do I discover Claude Code configuration patterns used across multiple repositories?▼

To discover Claude Code configuration patterns across repositories, fetch and analyze CLAUDE.md files and .claude directories from curated sources. The skill audits hooks, rules, settings, and agents, then reports novel findings suitable for engineering team adoption.

What is the best way to compare my .claude configurations against a dotforge template?▼

Comparing .claude configurations against a dotforge template involves fetching settings, hooks, and agents from repositories listed in sources.yml. The skill identifies novel patterns missing from your template and outputs a structured report with suggested adoption steps.

Do I need gh api access to audit Claude Code hooks and settings from public repos?▼

You need either gh api or WebFetch access to retrieve CLAUDE.md and .claude directory contents from accessible public repositories. The skill uses these tools to fetch configurations from repos listed in your local sources.yml file for pattern analysis.

Can I analyze Claude Code agents and rules from repositories not listed in sources.yml?▼

The skill analyzes repos configured in your local sources.yml file. You must add any new public or accessible repositories to this sources list before the skill can fetch and audit their Claude Code agents, rules, hooks, and settings for novel patterns.

How does reporting novel Claude Code patterns work for engineering review?▼

Reporting novel Claude Code patterns works by fetching configurations via gh api or WebFetch, analyzing them against a dotforge template, and generating a structured report. This report details pattern locations and provides suggested adoption steps for engineering teams.

What are the limitations when scouting Claude Code patterns from curated repos?▼

Limitations include requiring access to gh or WebFetch and a properly configured local sources.yml file. The skill can only fetch and analyze CLAUDE.md and .claude configurations from public or accessible repositories that are explicitly listed in your sources.
