Dev Deepinit

SkillFiles & storage

Deep codebase initialization — generate hierarchical AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md context files for a new project so engineering agents have full context from session start.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Dev Deepinit skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by evolution-foundation/evo-nexus in .claude/skills/dev-deepinit/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Derived from oh-my-claudecode (MIT, Yeachan Heo). Adapted for the EvoNexus Engineering Layer.

Deep codebase initialization. For a new project, generate hierarchical AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md context files that give engineering agents full project context from session start — instead of forcing them to re-discover the codebase every session.

Use When

  • Onboarding a new project to EvoNexus
  • Existing project lacks AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / project context docs
  • After a major refactor that invalidates existing context docs

Do Not Use When

  • Project already has comprehensive context docs
  • Trivial / experimental codebases (overhead not worth it)

Workflow

Phase 1 — Discovery

Delegate to @scout-explorer:

  • Map the directory structure
  • Identify the language(s), framework(s), build tools
  • Find entry points (main files, package scripts, CI configs)
  • Find test setup
  • Find existing docs (README, ARCHITECTURE.md, etc.)

Phase 2 — Synthesis

  • Project purpose (1-2 sentences)
  • Tech stack
  • Architecture overview
  • Key directories with their purpose
  • Build / test / run commands
  • Conventions detected (naming, error handling, imports)
  • Known gotchas (from comments, TODOs, recent commits)

Phase 3 — Generation

Create the hierarchical context:

{project-root}/
├── CLAUDE.md          # Top-level project context (this is what Claude reads first)
├── AGENTS.md          # Detailed context for engineering agents
└── docs/
    └── architecture/
        └── [C]project-overview-{date}.md

Phase 4 — Verification

  • @oath-verifier reads the new context docs and confirms they're accurate

Output Files

CLAUDE.md (top of project)

# {Project Name}

[1-2 sentence purpose]

## Tech Stack
- Language: ...
- Framework: ...
- Build: ...

## Quick Commands

## Architecture
[high-level overview]

## Conventions
[detected patterns]

AGENTS.md (detailed context)

# Engineering Context

## Module Map
- `src/auth/` — authentication
- `src/db/` — database layer
- ...

## Key Files

## Gotchas
[known pitfalls]

Pairs With

  • @scout-explorer (Phase 1)
  • @quill-writer (writes the actual docs)
