Init rules

Skill lifedever/claude-rules/.claude/skills/init-rules

Initialize or update CLAUDE.md coding standards for any project by auto-detecting tech stack and assembling rules from the claude-rules template library. Use when user says "init rules", "初始化规范", "生成 CLAUDE.md", or wants to set up coding standards.From its SKILL.md

Init Claude Rules

IMPORTANT: You MUST read rule files from this skill's bundled files. Do NOT generate rules from your own knowledge.

Rule files are bundled in this skill's directory. Use ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} to reference them.

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Tech Stack

Scan the current working directory to identify languages and frameworks:

Signal	Rule File
`tsconfig.json` or `*.ts` files	`languages/typescript.md`
`package.json` with `"vue"` dependency	`frameworks/vue.md`
`package.json` with `"react"` dependency	`frameworks/react.md`
`src-tauri/` directory	`frameworks/tauri.md`
`*.js` files without `tsconfig.json`	`languages/javascript.md`
`*.java` files or `pom.xml`	`languages/java.md`
`build.gradle.kts` or `*.kt` files	`languages/kotlin.md`
`pom.xml`/`build.gradle` with `spring-boot`	`frameworks/springboot.md`
`Package.swift` or `*.swift` files	`languages/swift.md`
Swift files with `import SwiftUI`	`frameworks/swiftui.md`
`pyproject.toml` or `requirements.txt`	`languages/python.md`
`*.html` files	`languages/html.md`
`.css`/`.scss` files	`languages/css.md`
`go.mod` or `*.go` files	`languages/go.md`
`Cargo.toml` or `*.rs` files	`languages/rust.md`

Present detection results and ask user to confirm or adjust before proceeding.

Step 2: Read Rule Files

Read files from this skill's bundled directory using the Read tool.

Always read:

${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/base/core.md
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/base/git.md

Then read each detected language and framework file, e.g.:

${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/languages/typescript.md
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/frameworks/vue.md

Step 3: Assemble & Write CLAUDE.md

Concatenate ALL fetched content in this exact order:


Empty line
Content of base/core.md
Content of base/git.md
Each detected language file
Each detected framework file

Write to CLAUDE.md in the current working directory.

If CLAUDE.md already exists, warn user and ask before overwriting.

Step 4: Report

List included rule files
Total line count
Remind user to run claude plugin marketplace update claude-rules to get latest rules
