Set up a project for smooth work with Claude Code — generate/update CLAUDE.md, propose an allowlist of permissions so it stops asking on repetitive commands, and suggest relevant MCP servers. Use when you first open a new repo with Claude Code.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
5
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Distinctive: line 12
Run the steps in order. Be concise with the user.
- Very specific: line 24
If CLAUDE.md does not exist: run the equivalent of /init — generate a short one with: the key commands (build/test/lint/run), a brief …
- Distinctive: line 28
If it exists: read it, propose additions only for what's missing and useful.
- Distinctive: line 29
Ask for confirmation before writing/committing.
- Very specific: line 36
Do NOT add destructive commands (deploy, push --force, rm).
- Very specific: line 37
Write to .claude/settings.json (project), not the global settings.
- Very specific: line 41
If the project uses GitHub and gh is authenticated, suggest the GitHub MCP.
- Distinctive: line 42
If it's a web/UI project, mention a browser MCP for visual verification.
- Distinctive: line 43
Only suggest + show the command.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

project-onboard
Goal: after setup.sh has prepared the environment (Ghostty + Claude Code
installed), this skill prepares the current project so work is smooth from the
first message.
Run the steps in order. Be concise with the user; show what you did, don't explain the theory.
1. Understand the repo
- Detect the stack: look for
package.json,pyproject.toml,go.mod,Cargo.toml,Makefile,*.csproj, etc. - Identify the build / test / lint / run commands (from scripts, Makefile, CI).
- Note obvious conventions (formatter, folder structure, test framework).
2. CLAUDE.md
- If
CLAUDE.mddoes not exist: run the equivalent of/init— generate a short one with: the key commands (build/test/lint/run), a brief structure overview, code conventions, and non-obvious things to know. Keep it tight (not an essay). - If it exists: read it, propose additions only for what's missing and useful.
- Ask for confirmation before writing/committing.
3. Permissions (fewer prompts)
- From the commands found in step 1, propose an allowlist in
.claude/settings.jsonfor the safe & repetitive ones (e.g.Bash(npm run test:*),Bash(npm run build),Bash(git status),Bash(git diff:*)). - Do NOT add destructive commands (deploy, push --force, rm). Read/test/build only.
- Write to
.claude/settings.json(project), not the global settings.
4. Relevant MCP servers (optional)
- If the project uses GitHub and
ghis authenticated, suggest the GitHub MCP. - If it's a web/UI project, mention a browser MCP for visual verification.
- Only suggest + show the command; don't install without an OK.
5. Final summary
Show a short list:
- what was created/changed (CLAUDE.md, settings.json),
- the detected test/build commands,
- the recommended next step (e.g. "run /code-review after your first changes").
Rules: confirm before writing to versioned files; don't touch the user's global settings; don't invent commands — verify they exist in the repo.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
