Conduct a structured interview about a new project and generate a ready-to-use CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md starter so the agent knows your conventions from session one.

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

# Project Setup Interview Skill

Generate a tailored `CLAUDE.md` (or `AGENTS.md`) for a new project by conducting a
short structured interview. The agent asks 6 focused questions, then outputs a
ready-to-use configuration file that covers commands, conventions, workflow, and
agent permissions — so every future session starts with the right context.

## When to Use

- Starting gptme on a project that has no `CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md` yet
- Onboarding a new developer to agent-assisted development
- Refreshing stale project configuration after a major refactor
- User says "set up gptme for my project" or "configure the agent"

## When NOT to Use

- The project already has a `CLAUDE.md` (update it directly instead)
- The agent workspace already has its own identity/persona files (update those directly)

## Process

### Phase 0: Check for existing configuration

```bash
ls CLAUDE.md AGENTS.md .claude/CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null
cat CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null | head -20
```

If a config exists, offer to update it rather than replace it. Skip to the
questions whose answers would change.

### Phase 1: Six interview questions

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gptme/gptme-contrib/project-setup-interview@sha256:fd033e3c4b7fee18

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
