anchormd-generate

name	anchormd-generate
description	Generate a CLAUDE.md file for the current project. Use when setting up a new project for AI-assisted development, when a project lacks a CLAUDE.md, when the user asks to create project context for Claude Code, or when onboarding a codebase for agent use. Scans the codebase to detect languages, frameworks, testing patterns, build commands, and conventions, then produces a structured CLAUDE.md with coding standards, anti-patterns, and project-specific instructions.

Generate CLAUDE.md

Generate a production-grade CLAUDE.md for the current project using anchormd.

Prerequisites

anchormd must be installed: pip install anchormd

Workflow

1. Run the generator against the project root:

   anchormd generate .
   

2. Review the generated CLAUDE.md output. The generator scans for:

   • Programming languages and frameworks in use
   • Build systems and package managers
   • Testing frameworks and patterns
   • CI/CD configuration
   • Code style and linting setup
   • Project structure and architecture

3. If the output needs refinement, iterate:

   anchormd generate . --preset python-fastapi  # Explicit framework preset
   anchormd generate . --preset minimal         # Fewer sections
   

4. Audit the generated file for quality:

   anchormd audit CLAUDE.md
   

Available Presets

Community presets (free): default, minimal, full, python-fastapi, python-cli, django, react-typescript, nextjs, rust, go, node-express

Pro presets (license required): monorepo, library, react-native, data-science, devops, mobile

When NOT to Use

• If a well-maintained CLAUDE.md already exists, prefer manual updates over regeneration
• For monorepos, run per-package rather than at the root
