This is the Claude Code pointer. The full agent contract is in
AGENTS.md — read it. This file only adds Claude-specific notes.
A knowledge pack (like BAIT) that teaches an
agent to build a sdmTMB survey index for a species and generates a new project folder
for it. It is installed once per machine; its skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ as
index-*. It is public — never commit data or private paths here. See the privacy
section of AGENTS.md.
- Skills —
skills/index-*/SKILL.md. Installed globally byskills/index-install. - Shared knowledge —
knowledge/*.md(the method, filtering, sdmTMB, helpers, packages, project structure, rendering). - Project skeleton —
project-template/, copied and stamped byscaffold.Rfor each new species project. - Worked example —
examples/redfish/.
- Project memory, not local memory. When working inside a generated project, use that
project's
memory/folder as your project memory (readmemory/MEMORY.mdfirst, write new memory files there). Do not use~/.claude/projects/.../memory/for project facts — that folder is only for user-level preferences/identity. - Skills — when the user types
/index-...or asks to build/validate/report an index, invoke the matching skill. When they ask for Biotic data access, defer to BAIT'sbiotic-*skills. - Plan mode — after the questionnaire in
index-new-project, use plan mode to confirm the approach before scaffolding and rendering. - Code review before render — Quarto renders are slow; run
/code-reviewon changed chunks and fix issues before starting a render. Seeknowledge/rendering.md.
