spec-kit / integrations

github/spec-kit/docs/integrations/claude.md

Install Claude Code before setup. The integration key is claude. This integration is declared multi-install safe. See the shared multi-install rules. For an existing Spec Kit project, use specify integration install claude. See integration management for activation, upgrades, and removal. Skills are installed as .claude/skills/speckit-<command>/SKILL.md. Invoke them in Claude's chat, for example /speckit-specify or /speckit-bug-assess for the installed bug extension. By default every Spec Kit skill installed for Claude Code is model-invocable, so its description is always in Claude's context…

financial-services

anthropics/financial-services/CLAUDE.md

Cowork plugins and Claude Managed Agent templates for financial services. Each named agent ships two ways from one source. Run python3 scripts/check.py before committing — it lints every manifest, verifies all system.file / skills.path / callable_agents.manifest references resolve, fails if any agent-plugins/<slug>/skills/ copy has drifted from its vertical-plugins/ source, and rejects non-ASCII bytes in a .ps1 without a UTF-8 BOM. Keep .ps1 files pure ASCII. Windows PowerShell 5.1 — still the default shell on managed Windows — decodes a BOM-less…

playwright-mcp

microsoft/playwright-mcp/CLAUDE.md

The MCP server source lives in microsoft/playwright, in packages/playwright-core/src/tools/. This repo ships @playwright/mcp: cli.js and index.js run the server from the playwright-core alpha that package.json pins. config.d.ts is a copy of the upstream file, and npm run lint generates the tool list in README.md. There is no build step. Tests are in tests/*.spec.ts, with test and expect from ./fixtures. The client fixture is an MCP client that runs cli.js over stdio, startClient() starts one with args or a config, and…

claude-quickstarts / chat-sdk

anthropics/claude-quickstarts/managed-agents/chat-sdk/CLAUDE.md

Long-running Node server (Hono): browser chat with a sessions sidebar (useChat → /api/chat) → Chat SDK web adapter onDirectMessage → one Managed Agents session per conversation, where the conversation ID is the session ID (no mapping, no database; the sidebar is sessions.list, transcript replay is sessions.events.list) → a held session event stream (opened with event_deltas token previews, always on) feeds each fragment back onto the same HTTP response while /api/activity streams the tool calls and thinking the page shows as…

claude-quickstarts / knowledge-wiki

anthropics/claude-quickstarts/managed-agents/knowledge-wiki/CLAUDE.md

This directory is a Managed Agents quickstart: it builds a real M&A data room into a knowledge wiki (a versioned memory store) with one dynamic workflow run, and queries it. The runnable artifact is distill_documents_into_knowledge_wiki.ipynb; prompts/ holds the consolidation agents' prompts, the lead agent's prompt and the baseline analyst's prompt, utilities.py the notebook's functions; everything else exists to set that notebook up. When a user asks you to walk them through setting this quickstart up, read skill.md in this directory…

claude-quickstarts / mcp-server-typescript

anthropics/claude-quickstarts/managed-agents/mcp-server-typescript/CLAUDE.md

MCP server that exposes Managed Agents session primitives as tools. Two entrypoints sharing one tool set: src/server.ts (stdio → Claude Desktop and Claude Code) and src/server-http.ts (Streamable HTTP → claude.ai custom connector). This quickstart creates no agents, so there is no agents/ directory. It needs one environment, created once from environment.yaml (the command is in that file and in README.md). Commands: bun run stdio (Desktop, Code), bun run http (claude.ai), bun run typecheck.

claude-quickstarts / roadtrip-planner

anthropics/claude-quickstarts/managed-agents/roadtrip-planner/CLAUDE.md

A Next.js chat built directly on a Managed Agent session: no chat framework, the event log is the app state. Teaches session event streaming (event_deltas), vault credential injection_location, per-session agent_with_overrides, and multiagent coordinator rosters. The planner calls the National Park Service and Windy APIs with keys it never holds, then hands its draft to a second agent for a quick critique. That second agent is an Opus reviewer running as a session thread. 1. Invoke /claude-api first. It loads the…

The CLI source lives in microsoft/playwright, in packages/playwright-core/src/tools/. This repo ships @playwright/cli: playwright-cli.js runs the CLI of the playwright-core alpha that package.json pins, and adds the update check, with skillCheck.js. skills/playwright-cli/ is a copy of the skill that playwright-cli install --skills writes, and node scripts/update.js refreshes it. There is no build step and no lint. Tests are in tests/integration.spec.ts. They run playwright-cli.js with runCli() in the output directory of the test, and the npmRegistry fixture serves a fake registry for…

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

About CLAUDE.md

What is CLAUDE.md?

A file Claude Code reads at the start of every session. It holds the commands, conventions and warnings the agent needs for this project.

Where does it go?

At the repository root. Claude Code also reads CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories when it works there.

What should it contain?

Build and test commands, the project's layout, conventions that aren't obvious from the code, and mistakes to avoid. Short files tend to work better than long ones.

CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md; most other agents read AGENTS.md. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
