Use this skill whenever the user wants to turn a plan/idea into files for Claude Code or another coding agent, says things like "set up AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md for this", "get this ready for Claude Code", "scaffold the project docs", "turn this plan into context files", "hand this off to a coding agent", or has just finished a substantial planning/design discussion and is about to start building. Also trigger when the user asks how to structure AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md and wants it actually applied to…

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

# code-idea

Turns a plan into the actual files a coding agent needs to work correctly — not a lecture on best practices, the files themselves.

## When this runs
- Right after a planning/design conversation, before the user moves to Claude Code (or another agent) to start building
- When the user pastes or describes a new idea and wants it scaffolded from scratch
- When updating or extending an existing project's agent docs as the plan evolves

## Core philosophy — bake this into every output
- The root context file stays SHORT — start near 30 lines, treat ~150 as a hard ceiling, move anything longer into a linked doc. Which file that is depends on the target agent (Step 3); how short it should be does not.
- **Nothing is settled until the user says so.** A fact that entered the conversation because *you* proposed it, or because it showed up in a prototype/demo, is not confirmed — see Step 1's source tagging and Step 2's confirmation rule.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add melconcoast/code-idea/scaffold@sha256:c62f86137a25ded6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v5.1.0, 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.
