MD Using these files with Claude
Once downloaded, these files work best when you give Claude direct access to them. Drop them into a dedicated subfolder, add one line to your CLAUDE.md, and use the prompt below. Claude will read the frameworks, assess your current setup, and apply what is relevant - whether your project is new or already running.
1
Create a subfolder in your project
Place the downloaded files in a dedicated folder. This keeps them separate from your own docs and clearly labels them as reference material.
/docs/aba/2
Add a reference line to your CLAUDE.md
This ensures Claude knows the files exist and reads them at the start of every session - without you having to mention them each time.
## Reference
For ABA frameworks and setup guidance: @docs/aba/3
Give Claude this prompt
Use this whether you are starting from scratch or improving an existing setup. The final line ensures Claude shows you the plan before touching anything.
Prompt - copy and paste this
I've added Agent Builder Academy starter files to /docs/aba/ in this project.
Please do the following:
1. Read all files in /docs/aba/ to understand the APL, AAL, and AOL frameworks
2. Review the current project structure and assess what orchestration layer (AOL 1-5) this project is at
3. If a CLAUDE.md already exists: improve it - add the /docs/aba/ reference and apply any relevant patterns from the starter files
If no CLAUDE.md exists: create one using the template in /docs/aba/ and adapt it to this specific project
4. List the two or three most impactful next steps to improve the agent setup based on the frameworks
Show me the plan before making any changes.
