SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the initial setup of a new paper project by generating a project-scoped CLAUDE.md that records the research topic, submission targets, terminology protections, file structure, writing style, and supervisor preferences.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project bootstrap: creates a complete CLAUDE.md at the start of a project to establish a persistent memory.
  • Six-field capture: ensures topic, submission targets, terminology list, directory/file layout, writing style, and supervisor preferences are documented.
  • Consistency across sessions: provides a ready-to-load context for AI-assisted writing across multiple sessions and team members.
  • Use Case: starting a new paper project and needing a ready-made memory template before any writing begins.

How do I initialize a CLAUDE.md file for a new paper project?▼

To initialize CLAUDE.md for a new paper project, request the bootstrap skill to generate a project-scoped file capturing research topics, submission targets, terminology, file structure, writing style, and supervisor preferences.

What context should I document for AI-assisted research writing?▼

For AI-assisted research writing, you should document six core fields in CLAUDE.md: research topic, submission targets, terminology protections, directory layout, writing style, and supervisor preferences to maintain consistency across sessions.

Can I update the CLAUDE.md file if my research project supervisor preferences change?▼

Yes, you can update CLAUDE.md when supervisor preferences or project details change. The bootstrap skill supports ongoing updates to ensure the AI-assisted writing context remains complete and accurate.

What's the best way to ensure terminology consistency across multiple AI writing sessions?▼

The best way to ensure terminology consistency across multiple AI writing sessions is to record a terminology list within a project-scoped CLAUDE.md file that provides a ready-to-load persistent memory context.

Does paper-claude-md-bootstrap work for existing research projects or only new ones?▼

The bootstrap skill works for both new paper projects and existing ones whenever a CLAUDE.md file is missing, ensuring no work proceeds without a complete background context for AI-assisted writing.
