if you made some improvements in a project using this starter kit, you can run

to pull them into your fork of this repo, or from your project run

.script/import-claude-files.sh path-to-your-fork-of-starter

to incorporate them into another project.

This stuff changes fast, so you may as well benefit from your learning on one project in your others.

Put what you want Claude to read on every boot in doc/project-overview.md.

Your preferred language may have its own, but just is a nice runner for any language.

It's got a few useful amenities to get you started. Go ahead and customise or replace it.
