This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
This is an "awesome list" repository that curates and ranks open-source Python HTML generation projects. It uses the best-of-generator to automatically generate a ranked README from project metadata.
Key insight: This is NOT a code project. It's a metadata/content management repository where the README.md is auto-generated from projects.yaml.
projects.yaml → Source of truth for all project metadata
↓
best-of-update-action → GitHub Action that fetches metrics and generates README
↓
README.md → Auto-generated ranked list (never edit directly)
Template files:
config/header.md- README header template (supports variables:{project_count},{stars_count},{category_count})config/footer.md- README footer template
Edit projects.yaml only. Never modify README.md directly.
Required project properties:
name- Unique project namegithub_id- Format:owner/repo(e.g.,pelme/htpy)
Optional properties:
category- One of:html-generation,html-form-generation,related-projects,miscellaneouslabels- List of labelspypi_id,conda_id,npm_id,dockerhub_id,maven_id- Package manager IDs
Example entry:
- name: htpy
github_id: pelme/htpy
category: "html-generation"The GitHub workflow (update-best-of-list.yml) runs weekly:
- Creates an
update/YYYY.MM.DDbranch - Fetches GitHub metrics and package manager data
- Regenerates README.md with updated rankings
- Creates a PR and draft release
Manual trigger: Run workflow from GitHub Actions with optional version input.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for full details. Key points:
- One project per PR/issue
- Branch naming:
feat/<github_id>for projects,docs/<description>for docs - PR title:
Add `project:<github_id>`(use backtick-wrapped identifiers) - PR title with category:
Add `project:<github_id>` and `category:<id>` - Docs PR title:
docs: <description> - PR body: Fill in
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md— check the change type box, add a project link with description, check both checklist items - Commits: Squash-merged using the PR title, so branch commit messages don't matter
