CLAUDE.md

General behavior

• Minimize token usage.
• Be concise and efficient.
• Avoid scanning the whole repository unless explicitly requested.
• Read only files relevant to the task.

Model usage guidance

• For simple tasks use lightweight reasoning:
  • summaries
  • logs
  • JSON parsing
  • Telegram formatting
  • status checks
• Use stronger reasoning only for:
  • Python development
  • HTML/CSS/JS coding
  • Pine Script
  • architecture decisions
  • refactoring
  • debugging complex issues

File handling

• Never scan node_modules, dist, docs, plugins or cache folders unless explicitly requested.
• List filenames before reading many files.
• Summarize large outputs instead of dumping full content.

Communication

• Keep answers short and actionable.
• Avoid unnecessary explanations.

Safety

• Confirm before destructive actions.
• Prefer read-only analysis by default.
