Instructions

Initialize a new Claude Code session with comprehensive project context:

1. Analyze Codebase Structure

   • Run git ls-files to understand file organization and project layout
   • Execute directory tree commands (if available) for visual structure
   • Identify key directories and their purposes
   • Note the technology stack and frameworks in use

2. Read Project Documentation

   • Read README.md for project overview and setup instructions
   • Check for any additional documentation in docs/ or ai_docs/
   • Review any CONTRIBUTING.md or development guides
   • Look for architecture or design documents

3. Understand Project Context

   • Identify the project's primary purpose and goals
   • Note any special setup requirements or dependencies
   • Check for environment configuration needs
   • Review any CI/CD configuration files

4. Provide Concise Overview

   • Summarize the project's purpose in 2-3 sentences
   • List the main technologies and frameworks
   • Highlight any important setup steps
   • Note key areas of the codebase

This command helps establish context quickly when:

• Starting work on a new project
• Returning to a project after time away
• Onboarding new team members
• Preparing for deep technical work

The goal is to "prime" the AI assistant with essential project knowledge for more effective assistance.
