Why should I use AGENT_ORIENTATION.md instead of CLAUDE.md for project details?

Keeping CLAUDE.md standardized for behavior and AGENT_ORIENTATION.md for technical details prevents token bloat, ensuring the agent only reads relevant technical context when working in specific directories.

Can I migrate an existing project to Promode?

Yes, the skill includes a dedicated migration workflow that analyzes your current CLAUDE.md and refactors it into the standardized Promode structure.

What is the Promode methodology?

Promode is a set of principles for AI agents focusing on Test-Driven Development (TDD), context conservation, and progressive disclosure to maximize agent efficiency.

How does this skill handle sub-agents?

It sets up the main agent to handle orchestration and planning, while delegating execution to phase-specific sub-agents (implementer, reviewer, debugger) that already understand the methodology.

Productivity & Workflow

Standardizes and manages project configuration files to implement the Promode methodology for AI-driven software development.

This skill implements the Promode methodology within your repository, creating a high-performance environment for AI agents like Claude Code. It focuses on 'progressive disclosure' by standardizing CLAUDE.md for core agent behavior while delegating project-specific technical context to AGENT_ORIENTATION.md files. This approach optimizes token usage, enforces test-driven development (TDD) as the primary documentation source, and utilizes dedicated Kanban boards for session tracking. Whether you are starting a new project, migrating existing configurations, or auditing for conformance, this skill ensures your codebase is optimized for AI-agent orchestration.
