What's inside
- CLAUDE.mdRules the agent reads every session: smallest thing that works, root-cause fixes, ask before risky actions, verify before done.
- .claude/settings.jsonA deny list for secrets and destructive commands, and asks before every commit and push.
- .claude/hooks/Three hooks: block reading secrets through the shell, enforce a writing rule, load lessons at session start. With tests.
- .claude/skills/Two skills: verify before you say done, and write a lesson after a hard bug.
- .claude/agents/A verifier that checks claims with evidence and never edits.
- .claude/lessons/The lessons folder, with one real example from my own setup.
- .mcp.jsonCurrent library docs (Context7) and read-only access to your docs folder.
Who it's for
Engineers starting a project in Claude Code who want written rules and tested hooks from the first session.
