What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual setup of a structured workspace for studying external GitHub repositories. It ensures your research notes are version-controlled and separate from the cloned codebase, and automatically manages .gitignore rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Workspace: Automatically creates a notes/ directory for committed Markdown documentation and a code/ directory for the gitignored cloned repository.
• Git Worktree Compatibility: Optimizes for git worktree workflows, sharing code clones across worktrees while keeping notes local to your development branch.
• Use Case: Quickly set up a dedicated space to analyze https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code, ensuring your research notes are version-controlled and separate from the cloned codebase.

Quick Start

Set up a notes directory for studying the repository at https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code.
