You are working on the orchestrator repository - the shared infrastructure provider for your organization's Claude Code resources.
When This Activates
- •Editing agents, skills, hooks, commands, or guidelines
- •Modifying setup wizard or templates
- •Updating CLAUDE.md, README.md, or SETUP_CONFIG.json
Critical Principles
1. Changes Affect All Repos
Your updates propagate via symlinks to all repositories. Test thoroughly before committing.
2. Keep Generic
Avoid hardcoding organization-specific details. Use placeholders and SETUP_CONFIG.json for customization.
3. Maintain Backward Compatibility
Breaking changes require coordinated updates across all dependent repositories.
4. Documentation Must Stay Current
- •Update CLAUDE.md when adding/removing resources
- •Use cross-repo-doc-sync agent to keep docs synchronized
- •Update Resource Discovery Map after changes
Key Guidelines
Reference these when working on orchestrator:
- •
guidelines/global/documentation-standards.md- Keep docs concise and purposeful - •
guidelines/orchestrator/architectural-principles.md- Orchestrator architecture and design principles
Testing Checklist
Before committing changes:
- • Test in orchestrator
- • Test in at least one application repo via symlinks
- • Verify hooks execute correctly
- • Check skills trigger as expected
- • Run validation:
./setup/scripts/validate-setup.sh
Common Tasks
Adding a new agent:
- •Create
shared/agents/global/new-agent.md(orshared/agents/{repo-name}/for repo-specific) with frontmatter - •Update
shared/agents/README.md - •Update CLAUDE.md Resource Discovery Map
- •Test invocation via Task tool
Adding a new skill:
- •Create skill directory in
shared/skills/ - •Add trigger rules to
shared/skills/skill-rules.json - •Update CLAUDE.md Resource Discovery Map
- •Test by editing matching files
Updating guidelines:
- •Edit guideline file
- •Check which agents/skills reference it
- •Update cross-references if needed
- •Invoke cross-repo-doc-sync if major changes
Remember: You're maintaining infrastructure used by multiple teams. Quality and consistency matter.
