Claude Code Knowledge Pack7/10/2026

Overview

Add a new feature module to an existing project with all supporting files.

Steps

  1. Parse the feature specification from the argument:
    • Feature name and description.
    • Type: CRUD resource, service, middleware, CLI command, UI component.
  2. Analyze the existing project structure:
    • Detect conventions for file organization.
    • Identify existing patterns for routing, models, services.
    • Check for shared utilities and types.
  3. Generate feature files based on type:
    • CRUD resource: Model, service, controller/handler, routes, validation schema, tests.
    • Service: Service class/module, interface/types, tests.
    • Middleware: Middleware function, configuration, tests.
    • CLI command: Command definition, handler, help text, tests.
    • UI component: Component, styles, stories, tests.
  4. Wire up the feature:
    • Add routes to the router.
    • Register middleware in the app configuration.
    • Export from the module index.
  5. Generate tests for the new feature.
  6. Verify the project still builds and existing tests pass.

Format

Feature added: <name>
Type: <feature-type>

Files created:
  - src/<feature>/model.ts
  - src/<feature>/service.ts
  - src/<feature>/routes.ts
  - tests/<feature>/service.test.ts

Rules

  • Follow existing project conventions for naming, structure, and patterns.
  • Include validation for all inputs at the boundary.
  • Add error handling consistent with the project's error handling approach.
  • Generate at least one test per public function or endpoint.
  • Update the project CLAUDE.md with the new feature's purpose and location.
