Does this skill overwrite my files automatically?

No, the skill follows a safety-first workflow. It first generates a quality report and then asks for user confirmation before showing specific diffs and applying updates.

Can it handle monorepos?

Yes, the skill is designed to find and audit CLAUDE.md files at the root level as well as within nested directories like packages/ or sub-modules.

What is a CLAUDE.md file?

A CLAUDE.md file is a specialized markdown document that provides Claude Code with essential project context, including build commands, testing patterns, and architectural quirks unique to your repository.

Why is project context optimization important for AI?

High-quality context files ensure the AI doesn't have to guess how to run tests or build the project, which reduces errors and makes AI-generated code more aligned with your project's patterns.
