How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Regenerate CLAUDE.md

Regenerate the CLAUDE.md file for Claude Code integration. This command performs an **intelligent merge** — analyzing the current project state while preserving team-written content.

**Hook file architecture (default):** Generates `AIWG.md` with all AIWG context, and adds a single `@AIWG.md` directive to CLAUDE.md. This keeps CLAUDE.md minimal and user-owned.

**Full injection (`--full-inject`):** Legacy mode — injects full AIWG content directly into CLAUDE.md (useful for platforms that do not support @-link loading, or user preference).

**Vendor-specific filtering:** This command includes ONLY Claude Code slash commands and agents, reducing context pollution. Other vendor content is referenced but not inlined.

Core Principle

**Team content is preserved. AIWG content is updated. Only Claude-specific content is inlined.**

The agent must distinguish between:

  • **Team content**: Project rules, conventions, requirements, decisions written by humans
  • **AIWG content**: Framework integration, agent definitions, reference links generated by AIWG
  • **Claude-specific**: Slash commands, Claude agents, Claude settings
  • **Other vendors**: Copilot, Cursor, Warp commands (reference only)

Parameters

| Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | `--no-backup` | Skip creating backup file | | `--dry-run` | Preview changes without writing | | `--full` | Full regeneration - replaces everything (destructive) | | `--full-inject` | Inject AIWG content directly into CLAUDE.md (legacy/compatibility mode) | | `--migrate` | Migrate existing full-injection to hook file approach (runs `/migrate-hook --provider claude`) |

Hook File Architecture (Default)

When running without `--full-inject`:

1. **Generate `AIWG.md`** — assembles AIWG context from installed framework manifests 2. **Update `CLAUDE.md`** — minimal: user content + `@AIWG.md` directive

# CLAUDE.md

## Repository Purpose
[your project description]

@AIWG.md

## Project-Specific Notes
[your team conventions here]

To revert to inline injection: `/aiwg-regenerate-claude --full-inject`

To disable context temporarily: `aiwg hook-disable`

Execution Steps

Step 1: Create Backup

Unless `--no-backup` specified:

1. Check if `CLAUDE.md` exists 2. If exists, copy to `CLAUDE.md.backup-{YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS}` 3. Report: `Backup created: CLAUDE.md.backup-20260113-152233`

If no existing file, skip backup and note: `No existing CLAUDE.md found, generating fresh.`

Step 2: Analyze Existing Content

If existing CLAUDE.md present (and not `--full`):

**Read the file and intelligently categorize each section:**

**Team Content (PRESERVE):**

  • Project-specific coding standards and conventions
  • API guidelines and architectural decisions
  • Security policies and compliance requirements
  • Team workflows and processes
  • Business rules and constraints
  • Definition of Done criteria
  • Historical context and rationale
  • Any content that reflects human decisions about the project

**AIWG Content (UPDATE):**

  • AIWG Integration sections
  • Agent definitions and listings
  • Command listings
  • @-mention reference tables
  • Orchestration instructions
  • Framework version information
  • Auto-detected project info (tech stack, commands)

**Identification Heuristics:**

  • Team content often uses first-person ("we", "our team")
  • Team content references specific business/domain terms
  • Team content contains opinions, preferences, rationale
  • AIWG content references `~/.local/share/ai-writing-guide`
  • AIWG content has structured @-mention tables
  • AIWG content lists agents, commands, frameworks

Step 3: Analyze Project

**Detect Languages & Package Managers:**

Use Glob to find package files:

package.json → Node.js/npm
pyproject.toml / requirements.txt → Python
go.mod → Go
Cargo.toml → Rust
pom.xml / build.gradle → Java
composer.json → PHP
Gemfile → Ruby

**Extract Development Commands:**

From `package.json`:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "tsc",
    "test": "vitest",
    "lint": "eslint ."
  }
}

From `Makefile`:

build:
    go build ./...

test:
    go test ./...

**Detect Test Framework:**

| File Pattern | Framework | |--------------|-----------| | `jest.config.*` | Jest | | `vitest.config.*` | Vitest | | `pytest.ini`, `conftest.py` | Pytest | | `*_test.go` | Go testing | | `.rspec` | RSpec | | `phpunit.xml` | PHPUnit |

**Detect CI/CD:**

| Path | Platform | |------|----------| | `.github/workflows/*.yml` | GitHub Actions | | `.gitlab-ci.yml` | GitLab CI | | `Jenkinsfile` | Jenkins | | `.circleci/config.yml` | CircleCI | | `azure-pipelines.yml` | Azure DevOps |

**Extract Project Description:**

Read first meaningful paragraph from `README.md` or `description` from `package.json`.

**Analyze Directory Structure:**

src/ or lib/ → Source code
test/ or tests/ or __tests__/ → Tests
docs/ → Documentation
scripts/ or tools/ → Tooling
.github/ → GitHub configuration

Step 4: Detect AIWG State

**Check for installed frameworks:**
