Directory Deep Dive

Analyze directory structure and purpose

Instructions

1. **Target Directory**

  • Focus on the specified directory `$ARGUMENTS` or the current working directory

2. **Investigate Architecture**

  • Analyze the implementation principles and architecture of the code in this directory and its subdirectories
  • Look for:
  • Design patterns being used
  • Dependencies and their purposes
  • Key abstractions and interfaces
  • Naming conventions and code organization

3. **Create or Update Documentation**

  • Create a CLAUDE.md file capturing this knowledge
  • If one already exists, update it with newly discovered information
  • Include:
  • Purpose and responsibility of this module
  • Key architectural decisions
  • Important implementation details
  • Common patterns used throughout the code
  • Any gotchas or non-obvious behaviors

4. **Ensure Proper Placement**

  • Place the CLAUDE.md file in the directory being analyzed
  • This ensures the context is loaded when working in that specific area
