# Phase 3: CLAUDE.md hub-and-spoke network: audit, create missing spokes, update root hub - Context

**Gathered:** 2026-03-23
**Status:** Ready for planning
**Mode:** Auto-generated (infrastructure phase — discuss skipped)

<domain>
## Phase Boundary

Audit the entire CLAUDE.md hub-and-spoke network. Identify directories that should have a CLAUDE.md but don't (missing spokes). Create all missing CLAUDE.md files following the established pattern. Update the root hub CLAUDE.md to link all spokes. Ensure every spoke links back to its parent and the hub.

## Implementation Decisions

### Claude's Discretion

All implementation choices are at Claude's discretion — pure infrastructure phase. Use ROADMAP phase goal, success criteria, and codebase conventions to guide decisions. Follow the existing CLAUDE.md pattern established in the hub-and-spoke network table in the root CLAUDE.md.

</decisions>

## Existing Code Insights

### Reusable Assets

- Root `CLAUDE.md` has a "CLAUDE.md Network (Hub-and-Spoke)" table listing 12 existing spokes
- Each spoke follows a consistent pattern: parent link, purpose, key files, SSoT data

### Established Patterns

- Hub: root `/CLAUDE.md` with navigation table
- Spoke: directory-level `CLAUDE.md` with `**Parent**: [parent CLAUDE.md]` header
- Each spoke is SSoT for its domain

### Integration Points

- Root CLAUDE.md hub table needs updating when new spokes are added
- Phase 2 already added/updated several CLAUDE.md files

## Specific Ideas

No specific requirements — infrastructure phase. Refer to ROADMAP phase description and existing CLAUDE.md network pattern.
