creating-claude-md
From the author
Use when the user wants to create a new CLAUDE.md from scratch for a repository, bootstrap project memory for a new repo, set up a repo for Claude Code for the first time, or completely rewrite an existing CLAUDE.md deemed unsalvageable. Produces a lean, high-signal file under 80 lines (120 hard cap) by scanning the repo for mechanical content (stack, commands, structure) and interviewing the user for judgment content (WHY, gotchas, out-of-scope, approval gates, testing philosophy, external docs like Confluence pages). NOT for auditing or incrementally improving an existing CLAUDE.md — that is the claude-md-improver skill's role.

- claude-md-starterInfrasity-Labs/dev-gtm-claude-skillsGenerates a fully structured, project-specific CLAUDE.md by scanning the repo for signal files (package.json, Makefile, .github/workflows/, .env.example, etc.), inferring stack, commands, architecture, and conventions, then asking at most 3 targeted questions for what cannot be inferred. Use whenever the user says 'create a CLAUDE.md', 'my CLAUDE.md is blank', 'generate project context', 'initialize CLAUDE.md', 'set up Claude context for this repo', 'fill in my CLAUDE.md', or any variation where someone needs their project context documented for Claude. If a CLAUDE.md already exists with content, runs a diff-and-merge flow before writing.Writing★ 144
- claude-md-generatorVarnan-Tech/opendirectoryUse when the user asks to generate or update a project's CLAUDE or AGENTS context file from a codebase scan. Writes a focused file under 100 lines containing only the non-obvious build commands, conventions, and gotchas Claude Code needs.Writing★ 686
- claude-md-improverthevibeworks/claude-code-docsAudit and improve CLAUDE.md files in repositories. Use when user asks to check, audit, update, improve, or fix CLAUDE.md files. Scans for all CLAUDE.md files, evaluates quality against templates, outputs quality report, then makes targeted updates. Also use when the user mentions "CLAUDE.md maintenance" or "project memory optimization".Productivity★ 160
- skill-creatorjeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplaceCreate, validate, optimize or refresh Claude Code skills. Use when scaffolding a skill, grading an existing skill, or using forge/reforge for an API plugin. Trigger with "/skill-creator", "create a skill", or "validate my skill".Engineering★ 2.9K
- claude-md-writerOneWave-AI/claude-skillsUse to create or clean up the CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md) file that tells a coding agent how to work in a repo — commands, conventions, architecture, and the traps. Trigger when onboarding an agent to a codebase, when the agent keeps making the same repo-specific mistake, or when the user asks for project instructions, agent rules, or a context file.Writing★ 378
- optimus-primeavibebuilder/claude-primeGenerates a Claude Code configuration tailored to a specific project. Use whenever the user wants to prime a project, set up claude for a repo, bootstrap claude config, or re-prime/refresh an already-primed project (for example after `/prime-sync` pulled new starter content). Triggers on 'prime', 'prime this project', 'optimus-prime', 're-prime', 'refresh claude config', 'regenerate CLAUDE.md', 'set up claude for this repo'. Deeply analyzes the real codebase and builds project-specific skills, rules, and CLAUDE.md — not generic boilerplate. For ongoing config health checks and proposal review, use `self-evolve` instead.Planning★ 120
