Claude Code loads AGENTS.md only when no CLAUDE.md exists in the project or its ancestors, so this file imports it. AGENTS.md is the canonical repository policy; this file adds only what is specific to Claude Code and must not restate it. - Treat hooks as safeguards, not proof. Preserve packet, worktree, approval, and operator gates in AGENTS.md even when a tool can technically bypass them.

The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific

Treat hooks as safeguards, not proof.
≈ “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.
