Claude Code Config

Your codebase has conventions. Claude Code should know them before it writes a single line.

CLAUDE.md is the instruction file that tells Claude Code how to work in your project. Without it, Claude operates on general knowledge alone -- it guesses your test runner, invents commit message formats, and picks naming conventions that clash with your existing code. A well-crafted CLAUDE.md eliminates that guesswork entirely. It loads at the start of every session and acts as persistent, authoritative context that shapes every response.

This skill analyzes your codebase -- tech stack, file structure, git history, testing patterns, and existing documentation -- then generates a complete CLAUDE.md tailored to how your team actually works.
