Transform legacy codebases into AI-ready projects with Claude Code configurations. Use when (1) analyzing old projects to generate AI coding configurations, (2) creating CLAUDE.md, skills, subagents, slash commands, hooks, or rules for existing projects, (3) user wants to enable vibe coding for a codebase, (4) onboarding new team members with AI-assisted development, (5) user mentions "make project AI-ready", "generate Claude config", or "create coding standards for AI".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Legacy to AI-Ready

Transform legacy codebases into AI-ready projects by generating Claude Code configurations.

## Quick Start (5-Minute Setup)

For most projects, start with just CLAUDE.md:

1. **Analyze**: `python scripts/analyze_codebase.py [path]`
2. **Create CLAUDE.md** with build commands, code style, architecture overview
3. **Done** - Claude can now write code following your project's conventions

Expand to full configuration only when needed.

## Interactive Discovery

Before generating configs, ask these questions:

**Project Scope:**
- What is this project? (web app, API, CLI, library)
- Primary language and frameworks?
- Team size? (solo, small team, enterprise)

**Pain Points:**
- What mistakes do new developers commonly make?
- What patterns should always be followed?
- What operations are repeated frequently?

**Integration Needs:**
- External services used? (databases, APIs, cloud)
- CI/CD pipeline? (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
- Code quality tools? (linters, formatters)

## Configuration Decision Tree

```
Start
│
├─ Small project / Solo dev
│  └─ CLAUDE.md only
│
├─ Team project
│  ├─ Multi-language? → Add .claude/rules/

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nicepkg/ai-workflow/legacy-to-ai-ready@sha256:133ae1593ac9b602

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260120.d167b41, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
