[FEATURE] Generate repository-aware CLAUDE.md using claude /init during agentready align #272

Description

@ddjain

Problem Statement

Currently, agentready align creates a generic CLAUDE.md template when the file is missing. While this ensures baseline agent alignment, the generated file lacks repository-specific context (architecture, conventions, workflows).

Proposed Solution

This task updates the align flow to invoke claude /init when CLAUDE.md is absent, allowing Claude to generate repository-aware agent instructions based on the actual codebase.

Alternatives Considered

Prompt user to create CLAUDE.md manually.

Use Cases

A team runs agentready align on an existing repository and immediately gets a high-quality, repo-specific CLAUDE.md without manual effort.

Additional Context

CLAUDE.md acts as persistent, repository-scoped agent instructions rather than human documentation.

This change improves agent effectiveness while maintaining backward compatibility.

Acceptance Criteria

  • When agentready align is executed and CLAUDE.md is missing, claude /init is invoked to generate a repository-aware CLAUDE.md
