Code Import

Category: General · Sub-category: general-misc · Last updated: 2026-05-21

Read an existing repository's structure into the project cwd as a normalised snapshot the agent can analyse without re-walking the tree on every turn.

From the source SKILL.md

Spec §10 / §21.3.2: a code-migration / tune-collab run starts from a real repo (cloned via od project import or a path the user provided). This atom turns the raw checkout into a normalised on-disk record that subsequent atoms (design-extract, rewrite-plan, patch-edit) operate against. The point is to stop re-walking the tree on every turn — the agent reads code/index.json once and trusts the snapshot until the next explicit re-import.

Code Import is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/code-import/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
