A Claude Code skill. You open a new repo. You ask "what is this?" You get a 1-sentence stack summary, 3 likely questions, and one suggested first task. In under 5 file reads.
New repos eat context. Claude wanders. You wait.
This skill caps the scan. Read budget: 5 files. Output: short. No CLAUDE.md spam. No deep grep. You react with "ja" or redirect.
