AI Agent field notes

examples

A sample CLAUDE.md distilled from every principle in this repo, for a generic software project — not the project these notes came from. Each rule links the note it comes from, and is tagged [model] / [operator] / [shared] by who it addresses — the file is read by both the agent it steers and the human running the project.

Adapt the bracketed constitution (§1) to your own project; the rest is portable. It is a demonstration of what an instruction file that follows these notes looks like — including following the notes’ own advice about how to write one: a hand-written constitution first, then rules that each carry their reason. Read it, don’t drop it in unread.
