Map a repo for someone who cloned it this morning

Setup

1. 01

   Run Claude Code from a clean clone

   The overview docs cover opening a project. A clean clone shows missing setup the old checkout hides.

2. 02

   Paste the prompt and forbid code edits

   The first sentence is the safety rail. Stop the session if files start changing.

3. 03

   Have a current owner correct the map

   A confident wrong golden path is worse than no map. Mark corrections in the doc.

4. 04

   Commit the doc only after that read

   Ask for the file in a second turn so the draft can be fixed first.
