What does the init skill actually change in my project?

It creates or updates the CLAUDE.md file in your project root to include specific references to ADRs and OpenSpec paths, allowing Claude to reference your architectural decisions during coding sessions.

What happens if I use different paths for my documentation?

If the skill detects existing architecture references using different paths, it will ask you whether you want to update to the plugin standards or keep your current configuration.

Will it overwrite my existing CLAUDE.md instructions?

No, the skill is designed to be additive. It appends the necessary architecture context to the end of the file or updates existing sections without deleting your custom instructions.

Is it safe to run the init skill multiple times?

Yes, the skill is fully idempotent. If the correct references are already present in your CLAUDE.md, it will report that the plugin is already configured and make no changes.

Configures project CLAUDE.md files with architecture decision records (ADR) and OpenSpec references to enable design-aware AI sessions.

The Architecture Design Initializer automates the setup of architecture-aware development environments by configuring the project's CLAUDE.md file. It establishes standardized paths for Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and OpenSpec specifications, ensuring that Claude maintains deep contextual awareness of design principles and technical requirements. The skill intelligently manages existing configurations by checking for path mismatches, preventing duplicate entries, and prompting users for confirmation before making significant changes, making it the essential foundation for any design-led development workflow.
