We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent

9 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 9 are very specific to this project.

• ≈0

  Common · estimate

  Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

• ≈0

  Distinctive · estimate

  This author's own choices. Worth a look.

• 9

  Very specific

  Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

• Common
• Distinctive
• Very specific

1. Very specific:

   All skills, instructions, toolsets, knowledge bases, and memory live in .hailo/.

   line 7
2. Very specific:

   Read .hailo/README.md for the complete master index.

   line 8
3. Very specific:

   HEF resolution: Always use resolve_hef_path(path, app_name, arch)

   line 68
4. Very specific:

   Device sharing: Always use SHARED_VDEVICE_GROUP_ID when creating VDevice

   line 69
5. Very specific:

   CLI parsers: Use get_pipeline_parser() or get_standalone_parser()

   line 71
6. Very specific:

   Architecture detection: Use detect_hailo_arch() or --arch flag

   line 72
7. Very specific:

   USB camera: Always --input usb for auto-detection.

   line 73
8. Very specific:

   SKILL.md is sufficient: Read SKILL.md + common_pitfalls.md.

   line 74
9. Very specific:

   Custom background: When user provides a background image, use background.copy() — never blend camera feed.

   line 75

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 25,680 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.
