What happens if my project doesn't follow the Varie structure?

The skill will identify the repository path but will note that the archive and plan structures are missing, providing instructions on how to start tracking your workflow.

Can it handle projects that span multiple repositories?

Yes, it supports multi-repo configurations, allowing you to view the status of frontend and backend components simultaneously under a single project name.

How does the Project skill find my project files?

The skill resolves project locations by reading your projects.yaml configuration file and looking for standard directories like archive/, project_plan/, and issues/.

Is this compatible with standard CLAUDE.md files?

Absolutely. It automatically parses the first 50 lines of your CLAUDE.md file to gather initial context for the project summary.
