name: init-docs description: Create or update CLAUDE.md file for this project. Use when initializing a project for Claude Code, or when project structure/architecture has significantly changed.

Follow the next rules!
CLAUDE.md Refinements
Where creating or updating CLAUDE.md, apply these rules:
Don't Repeat Auto-Loaded Content
CRITICAL: .claude/rules/ is automatically loaded - DO NOT copy any of its content into CLAUDE.md
This means NO details about:
- Code style guidelines (interface{} vs any, struct field ordering, import groups, etc.)
- Git commit conventions (conventional commits format, AI tool references, etc.)
- Logging requirements (which package to use, what not to use)
- Testing requirements
- Any other rules/conventions already in .claude/rules/
❌ WRONG - This duplicates golang.md:
### Code Style (Go)
- Use `any` instead of `interface{}`
- Sort struct fields alphabetically
- Split imports into three groups: stdlib, dependencies, internal
✅ CORRECT - Just reference the rules directory:
## Rules and Guidelines
The `.claude/rules/` directory is automatically loaded and contains:
- **golang.md** - Go development principles
- **git.md** - Commit message format
- **testing.md** - Testing policy
Or even simpler:
All code conventions are defined in `.claude/rules/` (automatically loaded).
Reference, Don't Duplicate ARCHITECTURE.md
If ARCHITECTURE.md exists with detailed architecture, diagrams, and data flows:
- Replace architecture details with: "Read ARCHITECTURE.md for [list what's there]"
- Keep only a brief project description
- Add a "Quick Component Location Guide" with just directory names and one-line descriptions
Avoid Stale Metrics
Don't include line counts or other metrics that quickly become outdated:
- ❌
model.go (714 lines) - ✅
model.go - State machine orchestrator
Focus on what components do, not their size.
Verification Checklist
Before finishing, verify your CLAUDE.md does NOT contain:
- Specific code style rules (any vs interface{}, import grouping, struct field ordering, etc.)
- Commit message format details (conventional commits, types list, etc.)
- Logging implementation details (which package to use, what to avoid)
- Testing requirements or policies
- Line counts or other size metrics
- Detailed architecture diagrams (reference ARCHITECTURE.md instead)
CLAUDE.md should ONLY contain:
- Brief project description
- Quick component location guide (directory + one-line description)
- Reference to where detailed info lives (.claude/rules/, ARCHITECTURE.md)
- Development workflow specific to this project (not general conventions)
- Environment variables and external dependencies
