CLAUDE.md Writer

A skill for creating and optimizing CLAUDE.md files following official Anthropic best practices.

Golden Rule

Para cada linea, pregunta: "Eliminar esto causaria que Claude cometa errores?" Si no, eliminalo. CLAUDE.md inflados causan que Claude ignore instrucciones.

"Think of CLAUDE.md as the 'unwritten knowledge' in your codebase"

Quick Tools

  • /init - Genera CLAUDE.md inicial basado en la estructura del proyecto
  • # key - Agregar instrucciones dinamicamente durante la sesion

@import Syntax

CLAUDE.md puede importar otros archivos:

See @README.md for overview and @package.json for commands.
Git workflow: @docs/git-instructions.md

Reference Documentation

For examples and validation checklist, see:

  • references/good-example.md - Well-structured CLAUDE.md example
  • references/bad-example.md - Common anti-patterns to avoid
  • references/checklist.md - Quality validation checklist
  • references/dead-weight-audit.md - Dead weight audit (5 criterios para recortar instrucciones)

What to Include vs Exclude

| Include | Exclude | |---------|---------| | Bash commands Claude can't guess | Anything Claude can figure out by reading code | | Code style rules that differ from defaults | Standard language conventions | | Testing instructions and preferred test runners | Detailed API docs (link instead) | | Repository etiquette (branch naming, PR) | Information that changes frequently | | Architectural decisions specific to project | Long explanations or tutorials | | Developer environment quirks (env vars) | File-by-file descriptions | | Common gotchas or non-obvious behaviors | Self-evident practices |

CLAUDE.md vs Skills

| CLAUDE.md | Skills | |-----------|--------| | Reglas amplias que aplican siempre | Conocimiento de dominio solo relevante a veces | | Code style y workflow | Workflows especializados reutilizables | | Convenciones del repo | Info que cambia por contexto | | Se carga en cada sesion | Se cargan on-demand |

Content Triage

Antes de agregar contenido a CLAUDE.md, evaluar:

| Si el contenido es... | Entonces... | |-----------------------|-------------| | Regla que aplica a TODAS las tareas | Agregar a CLAUDE.md | | Domain knowledge especifico | Sugerir crear skill | | Workflow que solo aplica a veces | Sugerir crear skill | | Info que cambia frecuentemente | No agregar, linkear a docs |

Si el usuario quiere agregar info condicional ("Cuando trabajes con X...", "Para tareas de tipo Y..."), sugerir crear un skill separado.

Usage Modes

| Invocacion | Comportamiento | |------------|----------------| | /claude-md-writer | Proceso completo: analizar proyecto, escribir/mejorar CLAUDE.md | | /claude-md-writer actualiza con la sesion | Extraer info relevante de la sesion actual y agregar a CLAUDE.md | | /claude-md-writer agrega regla: [descripcion] | Agregar una regla especifica con el formato correcto | | /claude-md-writer revisa y optimiza | Auditar CLAUDE.md existente, eliminar redundancias, mejorar enfasis | | /claude-md-writer audita | Dead weight audit: aplicar los 5 criterios contra el setup actual (ver references/dead-weight-audit.md) | | /claude-md-writer convierte a skill | Identificar contenido que deberia ser skill y extraerlo |

Process

Step 1: Analyze the Project

Identify tech stack, project structure, and existing documentation.

Step 2: Apply the Three Dimensions

| Dimension | Question to Answer | |-----------|-------------------| | WHAT | What is this project? Tech stack? Structure? | | WHY | Why does it exist? What problem does it solve? | | HOW | How do I work on it? Commands? Workflows? |

Step 3: Write Following Best Practices

Length: Keep under 200 lines (ideal ~100 lines)

Structure (in order):

  1. Repository Overview (1 paragraph)
  2. Why This Exists (purpose, users)
  3. Quick Start & Commands (bash with descriptions)
  4. Architecture Overview (key patterns)
  5. Key Development Rules (with emphasis)
  6. References (links to detailed docs)

Emphasis for Critical Rules:

- **CRITICAL**: [Never violate this]
- **IMPORTANT**: [Always do this]

Progressive Disclosure:

  • Use file references instead of code snippets
  • Link to external docs for detailed topics
  • Keep CLAUDE.md focused on universal instructions

Step 4: Verify with Checklist

Before finalizing, run through the checklist in references/checklist.md.

Template

# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working with this repository.

## Repository Overview

[One paragraph: what this project is, tech stack, main purpose]

## Why This Exists

[What problem it solves, who uses it, business context]

## Quick Start & Commands

\`\`\`bash
npm ci        # Install dependencies
npm start     # Start dev server
npm test      # Run tests
npm run build # Production build
\`\`\`

## Architecture Overview

[Key patterns, folder structure, main concepts - keep brief]

## Key Development Rules

- **CRITICAL**: [Most important rule that must never be violated]
- **IMPORTANT**: [Second most important rule]

## References

- `/docs/` - Detailed documentation
- `README.md` - Project readme

Dead Weight Audit

Cuando el usuario pida auditar su setup, aplicar los 5 criterios de references/dead-weight-audit.md contra cada regla:

  1. ¿Default? — Claude ya lo hace sin que se lo digan
  2. ¿Conflicto? — Contradice otra regla en el setup
  3. ¿Redundancia? — Cubierto por otra regla o proceso
  4. ¿Parche puntual? — Agregado para arreglar un output malo específico
  5. ¿Vago? — Se interpreta distinto cada vez

Output esperado:

  • Lista de cortes con razón en una línea cada uno
  • Lista de conflictos encontrados entre archivos
  • Versión limpia del CLAUDE.md sin dead weight

Proceso post-audit: eliminar → probar 3 tareas típicas → re-agregar solo lo que se rompió.

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

| Anti-Pattern | Why It's Bad | Do This Instead | |--------------|--------------|-----------------| | Code snippets | Become stale, waste tokens | Use file:line references | | Styling rules | LLM is slow for deterministic tasks | Configure linters | | Kitchen sink | Dilutes instruction effectiveness | Keep < 200 lines | | No emphasis | Critical rules same weight as minor | Use CRITICAL/IMPORTANT | | Auto-generated | Misses project nuances | Manually craft | | Domain knowledge | Inflates every session | Move to skills |
