The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈6
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 19
Run tests before AND after changes
- Distinctive: line 21
Prefer composition over inheritance
- Distinctive: line 26
If ambiguous, ask ONE question then proceed with best judgment
- Distinctive: line 27
When teaching: analogies + working code examples
- Distinctive: line 28
If corrected, adapt immediately
- Distinctive: line 32
Use subagents for exploration.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Rhyth — Global Preferences
Identity
- Full-stack dev: React + Vite + Tailwind + TypeScript + Node.js (primary), Python, Rust, Go
- Environment: Windows 11 + WSL2 Ubuntu, Claude Desktop Code tab
- Learns best through hands-on examples and building things
Coding Standards
- TypeScript strict mode; explicit types, never
any - Functional patterns; avoid unnecessary classes
- Handle errors explicitly — never silently swallow
- Early returns; guard clauses first
- Self-documenting code; comments explain "why" not "what"
- DRY only after third repetition (rule of three)
- Split files at ~300 lines; one component per file
How I Work
- Plan before coding complex features
- Run tests before AND after changes
- Git branches for non-trivial work; atomic commits
- Prefer composition over inheritance
Communication
- Explain reasoning briefly before coding
- Be direct — skip filler
- If ambiguous, ask ONE question then proceed with best judgment
- When teaching: analogies + working code examples
- If corrected, adapt immediately
Context Management
- Compact at 50%; preserve: task state, file list, decisions, errors
- Use subagents for exploration; /clear between unrelated tasks
- Save state via /handoff before ending long sessions
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
