Command originally created by IndyDevDan (YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@indydevdan) / DislerH (GitHub: https://github.com/disler)

Instructions

Initialize a new Claude Code session with comprehensive project context:

  1. Analyze Codebase Structure
  2. Run git ls-files to understand file organization and project layout
  3. Execute directory tree commands (if available) for visual structure
  4. Identify key directories and their purposes
  5. Note the technology stack and frameworks in use

  6. Read Project Documentation

  7. Read README.md for project overview and setup instructions
  8. Check for any additional documentation in docs/ or ai_docs/
  9. Review any CONTRIBUTING.md or development guides
  10. Look for architecture or design documents

  11. Understand Project Context

  12. Identify the project's primary purpose and goals
  13. Note any special setup requirements or dependencies
  14. Check for environment configuration needs
  15. Review any CI/CD configuration files

  16. Provide Concise Overview

  17. Summarize the project's purpose in 2-3 sentences
  18. List the main technologies and frameworks
  19. Highlight any important setup steps
  20. Note key areas of the codebase

This command helps establish context quickly when: - Starting work on a new project - Returning to a project after time away - Onboarding new team members - Preparing for deep technical work

The goal is to "prime" the AI assistant with essential project knowledge for more effective assistance.
