Guidance for Claude Code when working with IdeaVim. Essential commands: - ./gradlew runIde - Start dev IntelliJ with IdeaVim - ./gradlew test -x :tests:property-tests:test -x :tests:long-running-tests:test - Run standard tests Avoid running all tests, this takes too long. It's preferred to run specific test. When running gradle tasks, use --console=plain for cleaner output without progress bars. See CONTRIBUTING.md for architecture details and a complete command list.

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

About CLAUDE.md

What is CLAUDE.md?

A file Claude Code reads at the start of every session. It holds the commands, conventions and warnings the agent needs for this project.

Where does it go?

At the repository root. Claude Code also reads CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories when it works there.

What should it contain?

Build and test commands, the project's layout, conventions that aren't obvious from the code, and mistakes to avoid. Short files tend to work better than long ones.

CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md; most other agents read AGENTS.md. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
