SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? CLAUDE.md files often become stale, sparse, or filled with generic advice, leaving Claude Code without accurate project context. This Skill audits every CLAUDE.md file in a repository, scores it against a structured rubric, and applies targeted improvements after user approval. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Discovery and Scoring: Finds all CLAUDE.md files (project root, local overrides, global defaults, monorepo packages) and grades each on commands, architecture clarity, conciseness, currency, and actionability. - Quality Report: Outputs a file-by-file assessment with numeric scores, letter grades, issues, and recommended additions before making any changes. - Targeted Updates: Proposes minimal diffs for genuinely useful additions like working commands, gotchas, and configuration quirks, then applies them with the Edit tool after confirmation. - Use Case: After a major refactor, run the audit to find that your build commands are outdated and your new packages/ directory is undocumented, then update CLAUDE.md with verified commands and architecture notes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to audit and improve all CLAUDE.md files in this repository and show a quality report first.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit CLAUDE.md files in my repository?▼

Run the audit workflow, which finds all CLAUDE.md files including project root, .claude.local.md, global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, and monorepo package files. Each file is scored on commands, architecture, patterns, conciseness, currency, and actionability.

What makes a good CLAUDE.md file for Claude Code?▼

A good CLAUDE.md is concise, actionable, and project-specific, with copy-paste-ready commands, clear architecture notes, and documented gotchas. It should avoid generic best practices, obvious code restatements, and verbose explanations.

Does the skill update CLAUDE.md files automatically?▼

No, it always outputs a quality report first and asks for user confirmation before editing. Proposed changes are shown as diffs with explanations, then applied with the Edit tool only after approval.

How is CLAUDE.md quality scored?▼

Files are scored out of 100 across six weighted criteria: commands/workflows (20), architecture clarity (20), non-obvious patterns (15), conciseness (15), currency (15), and actionability (15). Scores map to letter grades from A (90-100) to F (0-29).

What should not be added to CLAUDE.md?▼

Avoid obvious code information, generic best practices, one-off bug fixes, and verbose explanations. Every line should be project-specific, verified against the actual codebase, and useful to a future Claude session.
