SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap a new project quickly by creating a consistent pair of documentation files (CLAUDE.md and PROGRESS.md) that establish a repeatable memory and governance pattern from day one.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detect project state and populate CLAUDE.md for existing projects, or generate guided templates for empty folders.
  • Create PROGRESS.md to serve as a dynamic, append-only log of tasks, decisions, and learnings.
  • Enforce a static CLAUDE.md configuration alongside a dynamic PROGRESS.md memory to standardize project setup and onboarding.

Quick Start

Run the /start command in the project root to bootstrap CLAUDE.md and PROGRESS.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap project documentation with CLAUDE.md and PROGRESS.md?

To bootstrap project documentation, run the /start command in your project root to auto-generate a static CLAUDE.md configuration and a dynamic PROGRESS.md task log. This initializes a repeatable memory and governance pattern for your repository from day one.

What is the difference between the CLAUDE.md and PROGRESS.md files this creates?

CLAUDE.md serves as a static configuration file to establish project memory and standardize setup, while PROGRESS.md acts as a dynamic, append-only log recording ongoing tasks, decisions, and learnings throughout the project lifecycle.

Can I generate documentation templates for an empty project folder?

Yes, you can generate guided templates for empty folders by running the bootstrap command. The tool detects the empty project state and guides the creation of the necessary CLAUDE.md and PROGRESS.md files to initialize your workspace.

How does project setup automation detect existing repository indicators?

Project setup automation detects existing repository indicators by scanning the folder structure. It then auto-populates the CLAUDE.md file based on the detected project state, applying a standardized memory and governance pattern to the existing codebase.

What's the best way to standardize onboarding for a new software repository?

The best way to standardize onboarding is to enforce a static CLAUDE.md configuration alongside a dynamic PROGRESS.md memory. This consistent pair of documentation files establishes a repeatable governance pattern that helps new contributors understand project state immediately.

Do I need any dependencies to initialize project memory and governance logs?

No dependencies are required to initialize project memory and governance logs. The tool operates independently, requiring only file write permissions in the project root directory to create the CLAUDE.md and PROGRESS.md files.
