Create, audit, and maintain CLAUDE.md documentation files that configure Claude Code for projects. Use this skill when (1) initializing a new project with Claude Code configuration, (2) reviewing or improving existing CLAUDE.md files, (3) organizing project instructions using progressive disclosure patterns, (4) converting repeated instructions into permanent documentation, or (5) setting up agent_docs/ structures for larger codebases. Handles the WHAT/WHY/HOW framework, conciseness optimization, and file import patterns.

# CLAUDE.md Manager Create and maintain effective CLAUDE.md files that configure Claude Code's project behavior. ## Core Workflow ### 1. Determine the Mode **Creating new CLAUDE.md:** - Analyze project structure, tech stack, and conventions - Generate focused documentation using WHAT/WHY/HOW framework - Target under 100 lines (max 300) **Refreshing existing CLAUDE.md:** - Audit current content for bloat, staleness, and anti-patterns - Identify instructions that should be externalized - Optimize for conciseness and relevance ### 2. Project Analysis (for new files) Examine: - `package.json`, `Cargo.toml`, `pyproject.toml`, etc. for stack - Directory structure for architecture patterns - Existing README.md for project context - `.github/`, `Makefile`, scripts for workflows - Test directories for testing conventions ### 3. Apply the WHAT/WHY/HOW Framework **WHAT** - Technical reality: - Tech stack and key dependencies - Directory structure and architecture - Key files and entry points **WHY** - Context and purpose: - What the project does - Why certain patterns exist - Functional purpose of directories **HOW** - Practical workflows: - Build commands (package manager specifics) - Test execution - Development workflow - Deployment process ### 4. Validation Review Pass After creating or refreshing CLAUDE.md, validate claims against the actual codebase using OSGrep. This catches stale commands, incorrect paths, and drifted conventions. #### Validation Steps **1. Valida
