codebase-onboarding

Codebase onboarding works by performing phased reconnaissance to detect package manifests and framework signals, then mapping architecture and conventions to produce a clear blueprint of entry points and standards without scanning every file.

To generate a CLAUDE.md for a repository, the Skill performs architecture mapping and convention detection, producing a starter CLAUDE.md file that bootstraps Claude Code configuration alongside a comprehensive onboarding guide.

The best way to onboard a new developer involves generating a structured onboarding guide with architecture maps, key entry points, and coding conventions, which reduces ramp-up time by documenting essential project structure and standards.

Yes, codebase onboarding works with diverse project types and languages, applying phased reconnaissance to detect framework signals and package manifests across different stacks to map architecture and conventions universally.

You can identify entry points and directory structure using phase-based reconnaissance that targets package manifests and framework signals, efficiently mapping the architecture without the overhead of scanning every file.

Generate an onboarding guide when joining a new project, setting up Claude Code for the first time in a repository, or needing to document architecture maps and coding conventions for rapid team ramp-up.
