Minimal context skeleton: project structure, key files, current focus

When to use this

  • When starting a new project and want a minimal context file that gives Claude the structural overview
  • When context quality is inconsistent across sessions and you want a repeatable baseline document
  • When token budgets are tight and you need project structure in under 1K tokens

How to use

  1. Open the template on GitHub and copy its content: context-engineering/skeleton-template.md
  2. Place the file inside .claude/ in your project (or globally in ~/.claude/ to share across all projects).
  3. Edit the Markdown content to match your project conventions, team constraints, and specific context.
