# Cold Start Generator Analyzes a codebase and generates everything needed for AI-assisted autonomous development: documentation, skills, templates, and onboarding materials. ## When to Use - Setting up a new project for AI-assisted development - Onboarding a new developer to an existing codebase - Making any microservice codebase "AI-development ready" - When someone says "make this repo work with Claude Code" ## Primary Goal Produce a self-contained cold-start package that allows any developer to clone a repo, point Claude Code at the cold-start doc, and immediately be productive — including autonomous feature development. ## What Gets Generated ``` Output Package: ├── CLAUDE.md # Repo-level AI context (architecture, commands, conventions) ├── docs/ │ ├── COLD-START.md # Entry point: "Start here" │ ├── REQUIREMENTS-TEMPLATE.md # Machine-executable requirements format │ ├── DEVELOPMENT-PROCESS.md # The 4-phase process │ └── SERVICE-MAP.md # Service inventory with responsibilities └── .claude/skills/ # Custom skills for this project ├── requirements-discovery/ # Tailored to this project's patterns │ └── SKILL.md └── develop-and-test/ # Tailored to this project's test infrastructure └── SKILL.md ``` ## Analysis Process ### Step 1: Codebase Reconnaissance Spend significant time understanding before generating anything: 1. **Iden
