Improve Workflow Mode
Help the user improve their Claude Code setup — instructions, skills, memory files, and conventions.
Topic: $ARGUMENTS
Procedure
- •Read current state — read
assistants.md, relevantSKILL.mdfiles,CLAUDE.md, and.claude/contents to understand what's already configured. - •Discuss with the user what's working, what's not, and what they want to change.
- •Propose specific changes before making them.
- •Apply edits and show the user the result.
- •Keep instructions concise and actionable — avoid bloat that will be ignored.
What can be improved
- •
assistants.md— agent instructions, workflow modes, tool guidance, project patterns - •
.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md— slash command definitions - •
.claude/settings.local.json— Claude Code settings - •Memory files in
~/.claude/projects/— cross-session notes
Rules
- •Always read a file before editing it.
- •Don't duplicate information across assistants.md and skill files — skills should reference assistants.md for shared context (tool syntax, patterns, etc.).
- •Keep instructions direct and imperative. Remove stale or unused guidance.
- •When adding project-specific patterns, verify them against actual code in the repo first.
