Init Claude Rules

SkillAI & models

Initialize or update CLAUDE.md coding standards for any project by auto-detecting tech stack and assembling rules from the claude-rules template library. Use when user says "init rules", "初始化规范", "生成 CLAUDE.md", or wants to set up coding standards.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Init Claude Rules skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by lifedever/claude-rules in .claude/skills/init-rules/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

IMPORTANT: You MUST read rule files from this skill's bundled files. Do NOT generate rules from your own knowledge.

Rule files are bundled in this skill's directory. Use ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} to reference them.

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Tech Stack

Scan the current working directory to identify languages and frameworks:

SignalRule File
tsconfig.json or *.ts fileslanguages/typescript.md
package.json with "vue" dependencyframeworks/vue.md
package.json with "react" dependencyframeworks/react.md
src-tauri/ directoryframeworks/tauri.md
*.js files without tsconfig.jsonlanguages/javascript.md
*.java files or pom.xmllanguages/java.md
build.gradle.kts or *.kt fileslanguages/kotlin.md
pom.xml/build.gradle with spring-bootframeworks/springboot.md
Package.swift or *.swift fileslanguages/swift.md
Swift files with import SwiftUIframeworks/swiftui.md
pyproject.toml or requirements.txtlanguages/python.md
*.html fileslanguages/html.md
*.css/*.scss fileslanguages/css.md
go.mod or *.go fileslanguages/go.md
Cargo.toml or *.rs fileslanguages/rust.md

Present detection results and ask user to confirm or adjust before proceeding.

Step 2: Read Rule Files

Read files from this skill's bundled directory using the Read tool.

Always read:

  1. ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/base/core.md
  2. ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/base/git.md

Then read each detected language and framework file, e.g.:

  • ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/languages/typescript.md
  • ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/frameworks/vue.md

Step 3: Assemble & Write CLAUDE.md

Concatenate ALL fetched content in this exact order:

  1. <!-- Generated by init-claude-rules | https://github.com/lifedever/claude-rules -->
  2. Empty line
  3. Content of base/core.md
  4. Content of base/git.md
  5. Each detected language file
  6. Each detected framework file

Write to CLAUDE.md in the current working directory.

If CLAUDE.md already exists, warn user and ask before overwriting.

Step 4: Report

  • List included rule files
  • Total line count
  • Remind user to run claude plugin marketplace update claude-rules to get latest rules
