/init
Bootstrap a CLAUDE.md project file with codebase context and instructions
About
The /init skill scans your project directory and automatically generates a CLAUDE.md file that captures the codebase structure, tech stack, coding conventions, and key architectural decisions. This project memory file is loaded at the start of every Claude Code session, giving the model instant context about your project without manual setup. It is the recommended first step when onboarding Claude Code to any existing codebase.
