SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill gives an xtrm-equipped Claude Code session a consistent operating manual so the assistant knows when to prime context, claim work, route tasks, and use the right workflow instead of improvising.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session orchestration: Guides the assistant through startup steps like loading workflow context, checking memories, and triaging active work.
  • Operational routing: Helps choose the right tool and command surface for code edits, tests, docs, releases, and worktree-aware maintenance.
  • Safe workflow behavior: Reinforces claim-before-edit discipline, trigger-based memory checks, and skill routing for unfamiliar tasks.
  • Use Case: A developer asks the assistant to investigate a bug, update a repo, or close out a session, and the Skill directs the session through the correct xtrm process from start to finish.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to prime the session, review relevant context, and follow the appropriate xtrm workflow for your current task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage Claude Code sessions for multi-task worktree routing?

Worktree-based session management for Claude Code is handled by applying disciplined task routing, context priming, and workflow selection to direct operational tasks like triage and memory lookup across repositories.

What is the best way to enforce claim-before-edit discipline in Claude Code?

Claim-before-edit discipline is enforced by guiding the session through explicit command checks, trigger-based memory checks, and safe workflow behavior before allowing any code edits or repo updates.

How does Claude Code triage active work and prime context on startup?

Context priming on startup works by loading workflow context, checking memories, and triaging active work to ensure the assistant knows when to claim work and use the correct workflow.

Do I need specific toolchain dependencies to route tasks in worktree-based repositories?

Task routing in worktree-based repositories requires safe delegation to the surrounding bd, bv, gitnexus, and xt toolchain to handle code edits, tests, docs, and release handling correctly.

When should I not let Claude Code improvise workflow selection for code exploration?

You should not let Claude Code improvise during code exploration, bug investigation, or session closure, as explicit command discipline and skill routing for unfamiliar tasks prevent unsafe workflow behavior.
