What's included

Every Claude Code package is a structured set of files your AI IDE reads before writing any code. Here's every file in the zip and exactly what it does.

your-app/
├── CLAUDE.md ← auto-read every Claude Code session
├── START_HERE.md ← first thing you read
├── project.md ← master product brief
├── .env.example ← pre-filled env vars
├── README.md ← quick orientation
└── skills/
├── skill-core-app.md ← always present
├── skill-auth.md
├── skill-billing.md
└── skill-[domain].md × 2–5 more

Root files

CLAUDE.md

Claude Code automatically reads any CLAUDE.md in the project root at the start of every session. This file acts as a persistent briefing — it tells Claude what the project is, the tech stack, coding conventions, and crucially, instructs it to read all files in /skills/ before touching any code. You never have to re-explain your project.

START_HERE.md

A plain-English setup checklist written for you, not the AI. Covers: installing dependencies, filling in .env.local, running database migrations, and the exact first prompt to paste into your AI IDE. Read this first before opening your terminal.

project.md

The master product brief. Generated directly from your validation data, it includes:

  • What the app does and the problem it solves
  • Target user persona (with real Reddit evidence)
  • Tech stack decisions and why
  • Core features and MVP scope
  • Data models and key entities
  • Revenue model and pricing approach
  • Competitive context and positioning

.env.example

A pre-filled example of every environment variable your app needs, with inline comments explaining where to get each value. Copy it to .env.local and fill in the blanks.

Skills folder

The /skills/ folder contains one markdown file per domain of your app. Each file is a detailed implementation guide for that domain — not generic documentation, but specific instructions for how your app should implement it. See Skill files for a full breakdown.

💡
Can I edit these files?Yes — they're plain markdown. Edit project.md to adjust scope, add constraints to skill files, or add your own skill-*.md files for domains the platform didn't generate. The AI reads whatever is in the folder.
