Task: Prepare for Work in This Repo
Load project context before starting any work so you can follow the repo's conventions and honor its local configuration.
Steps
-
Read agent guidance files (if present):
AGENTS.md at the repo root
CLAUDE.md at the repo root
- Any nested
CLAUDE.md files (e.g., **/CLAUDE.md) — these often carry directory-specific instructions
.claude/settings.local.json for local permissions, hooks, and environment overrides
-
If a file is missing, skip it silently. Do not create these files; their absence is itself information.
-
Summarize briefly (3-6 bullets max):
- The repo's purpose, stack, and any hard rules from AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md
- Notable permissions, hooks, or env vars from
.claude/settings.local.json
- Anything that would change how you'd approach a typical task here (e.g., "don't run migrations", "tests require X")
-
Stop and wait for the user's actual task. Do not start exploring the codebase or making
changes — the goal of this skill is only to load context.
