Files I drop into every project to keep coding agents on task.

A CLAUDE.md, some skills, a few subagents, and a backlog format. Copy what fits.

What’s in it:

• Living docs the agent reads first. PRD.md for what the product is. ARCHITECTURE.md for system shape and trade-offs. DESIGN.md for type, color, motion, and forbidden defaults. CLAUDE.md for repo-local memory. Each has a builder skill to draft it and a reviser to keep it current.
• A phased backlog: roadmap → phase → spec → kickoff → ship. The kickoff-to-ship step has a verification gate the agent can’t bypass.
• Reviewer subagents that return structured pass/fail reports: design-reviewer, architecture-reviewer, migration-reviewer, api-reviewer. Critical findings block the gate.
• Skills for the work I kept doing by hand: triage, planning, kickoff, ship, pre-commit review, token discipline.

I wrote the manual mostly so I’d remember why each piece existed six months from now. It’s fifteen chapters, one per concept.

It’s on GitHub, MIT licensed. Copy what fits your setup.
