/init in Claude Code 1st or AFTER project activation?

[smspgh]

I am starting fresh with a project folder I have and I am wondering what you would advise on if executing the Serena project activation and onboarding would be better 1st or after /init within claude code since it seems serena will come up with quality prompting based on the onboarding step. I thought maybe claude code might produce a better quality claude.md file for the project if serena had gone 1st. Just wondering if anyone else has had experience looking if there is any real difference here.

The only thing /init does is prompt the model with this message in the current conversation:

<command-message>init is analyzing your codebase…</command-message>
<command-name>/init</command-name>

Please analyze this codebase and create a CLAUDE.md file, which will be given to future instances of Claude Code to operate in this repository.
            
What to add:
1. Commands that will be commonly used, such as how to build, lint, and run tests. Include the necessary commands to develop in this codebase, such as how to run a single test.
2. High-level code architecture and structure so that future instances can be productive more quickly. Focus on the "big picture" architecture that requires reading multiple files to understand

Usage notes:
- If there's already a CLAUDE.md, suggest improvements to it.
- When you make the initial CLAUDE.md, do not repeat yourself and do not include obvious instructions like "Provide helpful error messages to users", "Write unit tests for all new utilities", "Never include sensitive information (API keys, tokens) in code or commits" 
- Avoid listing every component or file structure that can be easily discovered
- Don't include generic development practices
- If there are Cursor rules (in .cursor/rules/ or .cursorrules) or Copilot rules (in .github/copilot-instructions.md), make sure to include the important parts.
- If there is a README.md, make sure to include the important parts. 
- Do not make up information such as "Common Development Tasks", "Tips for Development", "Support and Documentation" unless this is expressly included in other files that you read.
- Be sure to prefix the file with the following text:

    ```
    # CLAUDE.md
    
    This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
    ```

Anything else you do before that is still part of the request, so it might benefit from the extra info.
