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