Scaffold Claude Dir
Set up or fix a .claude/ directory — skills, rules, CLAUDE.md, settings, and the Cursor equivalents. Use this whenever the user wants to add agent configuration to a repo, asks where a skill or rule should go, asks why a skill isn't showing up in the / menu or a rule isn't being followed, mentions SKILL.md or .claude/rules, or is reorganising an existing .claude directory. Also use it before creating any new skill or rule file, since the discovery rules are unintuitive and getting the layout wrong fails silently.

From the source SKILL.md
The single most important thing to know: misplaced agent config fails silently. A skill in the wrong directory doesn't error, it just never appears. A rule with a malformed glob matches nothing. Assume nothing works until verified.
