cashwu-claude-code-snapshot is a Claude Code plugin for the Build phase that runs the Snapshot skill to emit a project map (snapshot.json) so agents quickly understand repo structure.

Generate a structured project snapshot (e.g. snapshot.json) so Claude Code can map the repo layout and onboard faster on unfamiliar codebases.

What it does
cashwu-claude-code-snapshot is a one-plugin Claude Code bundle built around the Snapshot skill, which produces a project map so agents can understand layout, major modules, and structural relationships without exhaustive file-by-file exploration. For solo developers juggling multiple repos or returning to a side project after weeks away, that compressed map lowers token burn and mis-navigation early in a session. The workflow centers on generating snapshot.json (or equivalent) artifacts you can attach, refresh after refactors, or commit as lightweight internal docs. It sits alongside agent-tooling skills but is cataloged under build docs because the deliverable is structural documentation for the model, not a deployed feature. Complexity is beginner to intermediate: you need Claude Code plugins working and a willingness to regenerate snapshots when architecture shifts. GitHub stars are small; value is practical onboarding speed rather than enterprise governance. Use before large refactors, security reviews, or handoff-style prompts where the agent must not hallucinate folder names.
Highlights
- Snapshot skill generates a project map so AI agents grasp repository structure quickly.
- Output oriented around snapshot.json-style artifacts for reuse across sessions.
- Reduces repeated tree-walking and guesswork when joining or revisiting a solo codebase.
- Single-plugin bundle focused on codebase orientation, not feature codegen.
- Documented for Traditional Chinese builders; skill name Snapshot Skill (專案地圖).
Why builders use it
New or returning Claude Code sessions waste time re-discovering directories, entrypoints, and module boundaries in your repo.
You get an up-to-date project snapshot the agent can read first, improving accurate edits and reducing structural mistakes on the first pass.
