anchormd 0.5.0

Generate and audit AI agent context files — tech debt scanner, GitHub health, cleanup agent

AnchorMD

Generate optimized CLAUDE.md files for AI coding agents in seconds.

Stop hand-rolling CLAUDE.md. Let Forge analyze your codebase and generate a production-grade configuration file that makes Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex actually understand your project.

Why?

AI coding agents are only as good as the context you give them. A well-crafted CLAUDE.md is the difference between an agent that writes idiomatic code and one that fights your conventions on every change.

AnchorMD:

• Scans your codebase to detect languages, frameworks, and patterns
• Generates a complete CLAUDE.md with coding standards, commands, and anti-patterns
• Audits existing CLAUDE.md files and scores them against best practices
• Framework-aware presets for React, FastAPI, Rust, Django, Next.js, and more

Install

pip install anchormd

Quick Start

# Generate a CLAUDE.md for your project
anchormd generate .

# Audit an existing CLAUDE.md
anchormd audit ./CLAUDE.md

# Interactive setup
anchormd init .

# See what would change
anchormd diff .

# List available presets
anchormd presets

# List framework-specific presets
anchormd frameworks

Example Output

Running anchormd generate . on a FastAPI project produces:

GitHub Action

Add automated CLAUDE.md auditing to your CI pipeline:

# .github/workflows/claudemd-audit.yml
name: Audit CLAUDE.md
on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  audit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
      - uses: Arete-Consortium/anchormd@v0.1.0
        with:
          fail-below: 40     # Minimum passing score (0-100)

Audit Scoring

Forge scores your CLAUDE.md on:

• Section coverage — does it have the essentials?
• Accuracy — does it match your actual codebase?
• Specificity — are instructions actionable or vague?
• Anti-patterns — does it prevent common mistakes?
• Freshness — is it up to date?
