Setup

Bootstrap the agent working system for a new project.

---

Why This System

Without this system, every agent starts from zero. Mistakes you make, successors will repeat. What you learn, successors must relearn.

With this system:

• Experience accumulates, patterns emerge
• Successors stand on your shoulders
• Each agent goes further than the last

This isn't optional "best practice"—it's the infrastructure that enables agent teams to evolve.

What You Need to Do

1. Create CLAUDE.md

Base it on lidessen/moniro/CLAUDE.md.

Keep these sections as-is (core working method):

• Opening block (FIRST/ALWAYS/LAST)
• Who You Are (entire section)
• Methodology (entire section)
• Remember (closing section)

Replace these sections (project-specific):

• Vision → describe this project's purpose
• Structure → describe this project's directory layout

Remove or adapt these sections (optional):

• Skill Collaboration → keep if using skills, remove if not
• Skill Core Methods → keep if using skills, remove if not
• Contributing → adapt to this project's contribution guidelines

---

2. Create .memory/ Structure

mkdir -p .memory/{notes,decisions,todos}

Directory	Purpose
notes/	Learnings, reflections, discoveries
decisions/	Important decisions and their rationale
todos/	Tasks that span sessions

---

3. Write First Transmission Document

Create .memory/notes/to-those-who-come-after.md.

Reference lidessen/moniro/.memory/notes/2026-01-31-to-those-who-come-after.md for structure, but write your own content:

• What this project does
• What you (first agent) established
• Advice for those who follow
• A lineage table to track who contributed

---

Adapt to Context

The above is the required framework. On top of this, adapt based on project needs:

• Tech stack conventions: e.g., "Frontend components go in src/components/"
• Workflow conventions: e.g., "PRs require two reviewers"
• Team conventions: e.g., "Major decisions need human confirmation"

Add these to the appropriate sections in CLAUDE.md.

---

Checklist

After setup, verify:

• CLAUDE.md exists with Who You Are, Methodology, and Remember sections
• Opening block has FIRST/ALWAYS/LAST reminders
• .memory/ directory structure created
• to-those-who-come-after.md written
• Vision and Structure filled in for this project
