/recursive README

A community for experienced leaders shaping AI-native organizations one commit at a time.

A Claude Code skill that scans your ~/.claude/ setup, asks four questions, and gives you a personalized card.

6 archetypes. 4 dimensions. Your card is your ticket.

By Paul Schraven · LinkedIn · built to meet other people who point AI at their own workflow.

Sample Recursive card output

Install

curl -L -o ~/.claude/commands/recursive.md https://github.com/paulschraven/recursive/releases/latest/download/recursive.md

This pulls the latest tagged release (not main), so your card is never rendered from a mid-refactor commit. -L follows GitHub's redirect from the /latest/ alias to the current release asset.

Verify: open Claude Code and run /recursive. You should see the R E C U R S I V E banner. Current version is shown in the card footer after you complete the flow.

Or: download recursive.md from the latest release and drop it in ~/.claude/commands/.

Run

/recursive

That's it. Two minutes. You get a card.

How it works

  1. Quick local scan — reads file counts in ~/.claude/ (CLAUDE.md, custom commands, custom skills, MCP servers, projects, memory files). Counts only, no contents.
  2. Four questions — automation depth, org-wide contribution, build posture, and one open-ended (voice-friendly) describe-your-setup question.
  3. A draft card — you review and redact anything you don't want to share.
  4. The final card — branded, screenshottable, with your Recursive ID baked in.

Archetypes

Archetype Vibe
The Conductor Firing on every cylinder. We're impressed and slightly suspicious.
The Architect Tools as raw material. The cockpit is gorgeous.
The Operator AI scaled across the org. You moved a whole company up the curve.
The Tinkerer Deep personal stack, narrow blast radius. Next move is obvious.
The Pragmatist Solid across the board. Honestly underrated.
The Apprentice Early. Hungry. The instinct is there.

What it scans

  • ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (line count)
  • ~/.claude/commands/ (count of .md files)
  • ~/.claude/skills/ (count of subdirectories)
  • MCP servers (via claude mcp list or fallback grep across config files)
  • ~/.claude/projects/ (count of subdirectories)
  • ~/.claude/projects/*/memory/ (count of .md files)

What it does NOT do

  • No data leaves your machine
  • No API calls beyond the model you're already talking to
  • No file contents shared anywhere — only counts
  • No PII in the output
  • You always review the card before anything is shareable

Community

Your card includes a Recursive ID and a QR code to apply. Recursive is a small, curated WhatsApp group for experienced leaders shaping AI-native organizations one commit at a time: hands-on technical, product, and AI leads. Curated. No lurkers. Every member ships.

To apply: screenshot the card, click the Apply: link (or scan the QR from another device), submit your screenshot + LinkedIn + WhatsApp number. We review every applicant.

FAQ
