What problem does it solve? CLAUDE.md files written by hand or by the default /init command tend to bloat with redundant command listings, folder inventories, and generic advice, wasting context budget in every session. This Skill produces a concise, intent-focused CLAUDE.md by mapping the repository, interviewing the user about project purpose, and enforcing a strict line budget. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Repository mapping: Scans structure, tech stack manifests, and documentation locations without reading code, producing a signpost-style overview rather than an inventory. - Intent interview: Asks the user open questions about project purpose, domain, and architectural principles — the content that cannot be derived from code. - Outline approval gate: Presents a section-by-section outline with explicit omissions for user approval before writing anything. - Size enforcement: Targets ~80 lines with a hard 200-line ceiling, cutting sections rather than diluting them, and escalating when the budget cannot be met. - Use Case: A project's CLAUDE.md has grown to 400 lines of stale build commands and folder listings. Invoke the Skill to slim it down: it reads the existing file fully, preserves valid decisions, and rewrites it as a lean signpost document. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write or slim down this project's CLAUDE.md, optionally noting what the file should emphasize.
