Manifest Reader

Reads and summarises agent configuration files.

What it does

/manifest-reader reads agent configuration files (CLAUDE.md, skills files, rules files, settings.json) and gives you a plain-language summary of what an agent or workspace is configured to do. Useful when you inherit a Claude Code setup or return to one after a long gap.

Agent configurations can get complex. This skill translates the technical config back into human terms: what does this agent do, what tools does it have access to, what rules govern its behavior.

When to use it

  • When you inherit a Claude Code workspace from someone else
  • When you return to a project after weeks away and want to reorient
  • When you're debugging unexpected behavior and want to understand what the agent is configured to do

How to trigger it

Say: read the manifest or summarize this agent config

Or point at a specific file: explain what this CLAUDE.md does

What you need

A configuration file to read. Works without integrations. Works well alongside /session-init for a complete orientation at the start of a new session.
