Fetched the repo tree (15 SKILL.md files under skills/) and read skills/analyzing-projects/SKILL.md raw — a single self-contained file, no relative links/scripts, grep for curl|base64|token|exfil found nothing. It's a 6-step analysis checklist plus a fixed markdown output template and a post-analysis "no assumptions without evidence" validation gate. README is generic plugin marketing but the per-skill description is honest.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Analyzing Projects does
A pure-prompt skill that walks Claude through a 6-step codebase analysis (overview, tech-stack detection, structure map, patterns, dev workflow, summary) and outputs a standardized report with tech-stack and command tables plus a validation checklist. Triggers on onboarding to a new/unfamiliar project or "how does this work / what's the architecture" questions. Doesn't trigger for targeted bug-fix or feature-add work on an already-understood project.
How to install Analyzing Projects
npx skills add CloudAI-X/claude-workflow-v2 (or copy skills/analyzing-projects/ into .claude/skills/)
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Analyzing Projects skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from CloudAI-X/claude-workflow-v2. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Analyzing Projects work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 20, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Fetched the repo tree (15 SKILL.md files under skills/) and read skills/analyzing-projects/SKILL.md raw — a single self-contained file, no relative links/scripts, grep for curl|base64|token|exfil found nothing.

- What is the Analyzing Projects SkillProof Score?
- 8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Analyzing Projects?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Analyzing Projects with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
