Interactive project initialization. Detects project type, asks architecture questions, and generates a customized CLAUDE.md — no manual template copying. Use when: "init project", "setup project", "initialize", "new project setup", "generate CLAUDE.md", "configure for dotnet-claude-kit", or starting

/dotnet init What Interactively initializes a .NET project for use with dotnet claude kit. Detects the project type, asks targeted questions about architecture and tech stack, then generates a fully customized CLAUDE.md in the project root. No manual template copying required. When Starting a new .NET project with Claude Code Adding dotnet claude kit to an existing project "init project", "setup project", "generate CLAUDE.md", "configure for dotnet claude kit" How Step 1: Detect or Ask Project Type Analyze the current directory to determine if this is an existing or greenfield project: Step 2: Architecture Questionnaire Load the architecture advisor skill and ask targeted questions: 1. Domain complexity — CRUD heavy, moderate business rules, or rich domain? 2. Team size — Solo, small team, or large team? 3. Module boundaries — Single deployable or multiple bounded contexts? 4. Existing patterns — (existing projects only) Detect conventions via convention learner skill → Recommend: VSA, Clean Architecture, DDD, or Modular Monolith with rationale. Step 3: Tech Stack Selection Ask about specific technology choices: Database : PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, or none yet Auth : JWT, OIDC, Cookie, or none yet Caching : HybridCache, Redis, or none yet Messaging : Wolverine, MassTransit, or none yet Testing : Confirm xUnit + Testcontainers defaults Step 4: Generate CLAUDE.md Load the appropriate template from templates/ as a base, then customize: Replace [ProjectName] with the actual project/solution name Set the chosen architecture Configure the tech stack section For existing projects: add project specific conventions detected in Step 2 For greenfield: add recommended conventions based on architecture choice Before writing, check for an existing CLAUDE.md . Never overwrite it silently. Step 5: Verify Setup Skills invoked: project setup , architecture advisor , convention learner Agent: dotnet architect Example — Existing Project Example — Greenfield Project Example — Existing Project With a CLAUDE.md Related /plan — Plan before building features /health check — Assess project health after init /scaffold — Scaffold features using the chosen architecture
