Prime - Understand This Codebase

Execute these steps to understand the codebase structure, then provide a concise summary:

  1. List all tracked files:

    git ls-files

  2. Read the README: Read the README.md file (or README if no .md extension)

  3. Check for CLAUDE.md: Look for CLAUDE.md or .claude/CLAUDE.md for project-specific instructions

  4. Summarize your understanding: Provide a brief summary covering:

    • Project purpose (what does this do?)
    • Technology stack (languages, frameworks)
    • Key directories and their purposes
    • Entry points (main files, servers, CLI)
    • How to run/test (if documented)
    • Any special conventions or rules from CLAUDE.md

Keep the summary concise - focus on what an agent needs to know to work effectively in this codebase.
