I'm working mostly in a web framework that's used by me and almost nobody else (the weird little ASGI wrapper buried in Datasette) and I find the coding agents pick it up pretty fast.

One trick I use that might work for you as well:

  Clone GitHub.com/simonw/datasette to /tmp
  then look at /tmp/docs/datasette for
  documentation and search the code
  if you need to

If your framework is missing documentation tell Claude Code to write itself some documentation based on what it learns from reading the code!

Potentially because there is no baggage with similar frameworks. I'm sure it would have an easier time with this if it was not spun off from other frameworks.

If Claude cannot read the code well enough to begin with, and needs supplemental documentation, I certainly don't want it generating the docs from the code. That's just compounding hallucinations on top of each other.
