craftcms-claude-skills

Scaffold Claude Code configuration specifically for Craft CMS projects. Generates CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules/ files tailored to the project type (plugin, site, module, hybrid, or monorepo). Only for Craft CMS projects — not for Next.js, Laravel, or other frameworks. Triggers on: 'set up Claude for this Craft project', 'initialize CLAUDE.md', 'scaffold project config', 'configure Claude Code for Craft', 'create CLAUDE.md', 'missing CLAUDE.md', 'does this project have a CLAUDE.md', 'bootstrap Claude config', 'new Craft project setup', 'onboard a developer to this Craft project', 'generate .claude/rules', 'set up coding standards config', 'upgrade Claude config', 'update CLAUDE.md', 'compare my setup', 'is my config up to date', 'audit my Claude setup', 'redo project setup'. Also triggers when starting work in a new Craft CMS project that lacks a CLAUDE.md file, or when the user wants to check or upgrade an existing configuration. Detects project type from composer.json (craft-plugin, craft-module, project), .d
