What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the issue of overly large and unmanageable CLAUDE.md files by breaking them down into smaller, context-specific documentation files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Modularization: Extracts specific sections of large CLAUDE.md files into separate documentation.
  • Path-Scoped Rules: Implements glob patterns to load relevant documentation only when needed for specific file paths.
  • Use Case: Refactor a monolithic CLAUDE.md that contains detailed instructions for various UI components into smaller files, each loaded only when working on the corresponding UI code.

Quick Start

Use the claude-md-refactorer skill to refactor the CLAUDE.md file located at ./CLAUDE.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I modularize a large CLAUDE.md file for AI workflow?▼

Path-scoped loading rules use glob patterns to load relevant documentation only when working on specific file paths, preventing the AI from processing irrelevant context.

When do I need to refactor monolithic prompt documentation?▼

You need to refactor monolithic prompt documentation when your CLAUDE.md becomes overly large and unmanageable, applying modularization to break down detailed instructions into smaller context-specific files.

What is the best way to organize code instructions for AI assistants?▼

The best way to organize code instructions is modularization: extracting specific sections into separate documentation with path-scoped rules, so the AI assistant retrieves relevant instructions only when working on matching file paths.

Can I use glob patterns to load specific UI component instructions?▼

Yes, you can use glob patterns to load specific UI component instructions by refactoring a monolithic CLAUDE.md into smaller files, each loaded only when working on the corresponding UI code.

What do I need to define before refactoring CLAUDE.md?▼

Before refactoring CLAUDE.md, you need to define extraction candidates, recommend documentation names, specify content scope, establish path-scoped rules, and prepare replacement text for the original file.
