Md Starter

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user says create a CLAUDE.md
• My CLAUDE.md is blank
• Generate project context
• Initialize CLAUDE.md

Example prompts

• “create a CLAUDE.md”
• “my CLAUDE.md is blank”
• “generate project context”
• “/md-starter”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Docker

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Read the existing file
2. 2Complete Nodes 2–4 to produce the generated version
3. 3Compare section by section — for each of the 8 required sections, classify as
4. 4Present a diff summary table
5. 5Offer three options
6. 6Write the chosen merge result.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 02cfefb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npm

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Md Starter loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 164 tokens; SKILL.md has 877 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~164

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~6.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Generates a fully structured, project-specific CLAUDE.md by scanning the repo for signal files (package.json, Makefile, .github/workflows/, .env.example, etc.), inferring stack, commands, architecture, and conventions, then asking at most 3 targeted questions for what cannot be inferred. Use whenever the user says 'create a CLAUDE.md', 'my CLAUDE.md is blank', 'generate project context', 'initialize CLAUDE.md', 'set up Claude context for this repo', 'fill in my CLAUDE.md', or any variation where someone needs their project context documented for Claude. If a CLAUDE.md already exists with content, runs a diff-and-merge flow before writing.
