bitwarden-init

Bitwarden Init Plugin

Generates CLAUDE.md files using Bitwarden's standardized documentation template.

What It Does

This plugin creates comprehensive CLAUDE.md files that document your codebase. It works in two phases:

1. Phase 1: Runs Anthropic's built-in /init to analyze your codebase and generate initial documentation
2. Phase 2: Extends the output with Bitwarden's template structure, adding standardized sections

Installation

/plugin install bitwarden-init@bitwarden-marketplace

Restart Claude Code after installation.

Commands

/bitwarden-init:init

Generates a new CLAUDE.md file. Runs both phases automatically:

1. Anthropic's /init analyzes the codebase
2. /enhance restructures and extends the output

/bitwarden-init:enhance

Enhances an existing CLAUDE.md file. Reads your current file, performs additional codebase research, and reorganizes content to match Bitwarden's template sections.

Template Structure

The generated CLAUDE.md includes these sections:

• Overview - Project purpose, key concepts
• Architecture & Patterns - System diagrams, code organization, implementation patterns
• Development Guide - Step-by-step instructions with code templates
• Data Models - Types, validation schemas, domain entities
• Security & Configuration - Security rules, authentication, environment variables
• Testing - Test structure, writing tests, running tests
• Code Style & Standards - Formatting, naming conventions, pre-commit hooks
• Anti-Patterns - DO/DON'T lists
• Deployment - Build and deployment instructions
• Troubleshooting - Common issues and solutions
• References - Documentation links

Requirements

• claude CLI in PATH
• Write permissions for CLAUDE.md
