Init Claude Rules

IMPORTANT: You MUST read rule files from this skill's bundled files. Do NOT generate rules from your own knowledge.

Rule files are bundled in this skill's directory. Use

${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}
to reference them.

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Tech Stack

Scan the current working directory to identify languages and frameworks:

SignalRule File
tsconfig.json
or
*.ts
files
languages/typescript.md
package.json
with
"vue"
dependency
frameworks/vue.md
package.json
with
"react"
dependency
frameworks/react.md
src-tauri/
directory
frameworks/tauri.md
*.js
files without
tsconfig.json
languages/javascript.md
*.java
files or
pom.xml
languages/java.md
build.gradle.kts
or
*.kt
files
languages/kotlin.md
pom.xml
/
build.gradle
with
spring-boot
frameworks/springboot.md
Package.swift
or
*.swift
files
languages/swift.md
Swift files with
import SwiftUI
frameworks/swiftui.md
pyproject.toml
or
requirements.txt
languages/python.md
*.html
files
languages/html.md
*.css
/
*.scss
files
languages/css.md
go.mod
or
*.go
files
languages/go.md
Cargo.toml
or
*.rs
files
languages/rust.md

Present detection results and ask user to confirm or adjust before proceeding.

Step 2: Read Rule Files

Read files from this skill's bundled directory using the Read tool.

Always read:

  1. ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/base/core.md
  2. ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/base/git.md

Then read each detected language and framework file, e.g.:

  • ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/languages/typescript.md
  • ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/frameworks/vue.md

Step 3: Assemble & Write CLAUDE.md

Concatenate ALL fetched content in this exact order:

  1. <!-- Generated by init-claude-rules | https://github.com/lifedever/claude-rules -->
  2. Empty line
  3. Content of
    base/core.md
  4. Content of
    base/git.md
  5. Each detected language file
  6. Each detected framework file

Write to

CLAUDE.md
in the current working directory.

If CLAUDE.md already exists, warn user and ask before overwriting.

Step 4: Report

  • List included rule files
  • Total line count
  • Remind user to run
    claude plugin marketplace update claude-rules
    to get latest rules
