Engineering Conventions
ZaxbyHub/opencode-swarm
Guidelines and non-negotiable engineering invariants for modifying opencode-swarm.
Set up a repo or project so an AI coding agent works well in it — the CLAUDE.md, the context, the guardrails, and the conventions the agent needs to be useful instead of lost.

What it does
Claude Project Setup is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Set up a repo or project so an AI coding agent works well in it — the CLAUDE.md, the context, the guardrails, and the conventions the agent needs to be useful instead of lost. Use when asked how do I set up CLAUDE.md, configure my repo for Claude Code, my AI agent keeps getting my project wrong, or onboard an AI agent to my codebase. Produces a structured CLAUDE.md/project-context file (architecture, conventions, commands, do-nots), the right level of detail (enough to orient, not a novel), the guardrails that…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files, Creative writing and fiction and LLM guardrails. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked how do I set up CLAUDE.md
- Configure my repo for Claude Code
- My AI agent keeps getting my project wrong
- Onboard an AI agent to my codebase
Example prompts
- “/claude-project-setup”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Orient fast. Lead with what the project is and its architecture at a glance — the agent needs the map before the details.
- Capture the implicit conventions. The rules a human absorbs over months (where files go, naming, preferred patterns) are exactly what an…
- Give the commands. Build/test/lint/run commands let the agent verify its own work instead of guessing — this single section prevents most…
- Set guardrails. What not to touch, always-run-tests-before-done, and where a human must approve — so autonomy doesn't become damage.
- Keep the altitude right. Enough to be useful, short enough to be read — prune anything that doesn't change the agent's behavior.
- Maintain it. Update as the project evolves; a stale context file is worse than none because it misleads.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Claude Project Setup loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 177 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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
- Set up a repo or project so an AI coding agent works well in it — the CLAUDE.md, the context, the guardrails, and the conventions the agent needs to be useful instead of lost. Use when asked how do I set up CLAUDE.md, configure my repo for Claude Code, my AI agent keeps getting my project wrong, or onboard an AI agent to my codebase. Produces a structured CLAUDE.md/project-context file (architecture, conventions, commands, do-nots), the right level of detail (enough to orient, not a novel), the guardrails that keep the agent safe (what not to touch, how to test), and a maintenance habit so it stays current — turning a repo an agent flails in into one it navigates like a teammate.
Claude Project Setup
An AI coding agent is only as good as the context it starts with — drop it into a repo with no orientation and it guesses at your architecture, conventions, and commands. A good CLAUDE.md (or equivalent project-context file) is the onboarding doc that turns flailing into fluency. This builds yours: the architecture and conventions the agent needs, the commands to run, the guardrails on what not to touch, and a habit to keep it current.
What This Skill Produces
- A structured CLAUDE.md — the sections an agent actually needs: what the project is, architecture/layout, key conventions, the commands (build/test/lint/run), and the do-nots
- The right altitude — enough to orient the agent fast, not an exhaustive doc it drowns in; signal over completeness
- Guardrails — what the agent must not touch, how to run tests before claiming done, and where irreversible actions need a human
- Convention capture — the implicit rules a human learns over months (naming, patterns, where things go) made explicit
- A commands block — the exact commands to build, test, lint, and run, so the agent verifies its own work
- A maintenance habit — updating it as the project changes so it doesn't drift into wrong
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The project — what it is, the stack, rough architecture
- The conventions — the patterns and rules you'd tell a new hire
- The commands — how to build, test, lint, run
- The danger zones — what an agent should never touch or must be careful with
- Your agent — Claude Code, Cursor, etc. (file name/location may differ)
Framework: Orient, Constrain, Verify, Maintain
- Orient fast. Lead with what the project is and its architecture at a glance — the agent needs the map before the details.
- Capture the implicit conventions. The rules a human absorbs over months (where files go, naming, preferred patterns) are exactly what an agent can't infer — write them down.
- Give the commands. Build/test/lint/run commands let the agent verify its own work instead of guessing — this single section prevents most bad output.
- Set guardrails. What not to touch, always-run-tests-before-done, and where a human must approve — so autonomy doesn't become damage.
- Keep the altitude right. Enough to be useful, short enough to be read — prune anything that doesn't change the agent's behavior.
- Maintain it. Update as the project evolves; a stale context file is worse than none because it misleads.

Output Format
CLAUDE.md for [project]
What this is: [one-paragraph orientation + architecture at a glance].
Layout: [key directories/modules and what they do].
Conventions: [naming · patterns · where things go · style].
Commands: build: · test: · lint: · run:.
Guardrails: [do-not-touch · run tests before done · human-approval zones].
Maintenance: [update when X changes — keep it current].
Quality Checks
- Orients the agent to purpose and architecture first
- Makes implicit conventions explicit
- Includes the exact build/test/lint/run commands
- Sets guardrails on danger zones and verification
- Keeps the doc at a readable altitude; sets a maintenance habit
Anti-Patterns
- A novel the agent won't read, or a stub that orients nothing.
- Omitting the commands, so the agent can't verify its work.
- Missing guardrails on irreversible or dangerous actions.
- Assuming the agent infers conventions it has no way to know.
- Writing it once and letting it drift out of date.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "How do I set up a CLAUDE.md for my repo?"
- "Configure my project so Claude Code works well in it."
- "My AI agent keeps misunderstanding my codebase — how do I fix that?"
- "What should go in my project's AI context file?"
- "Onboard an AI coding agent to my project properly."
