- Keep CLAUDE.md under 150 lines for reliable adherence
|
||||
- Keep CLAUDE.md under 200 lines per file for reliable adherence
|
||||
- Use commands for workflows instead of standalone agents
|
||||
- Create feature-specific subagents with skills (progressive disclosure) rather than general-purpose agents

■ **Workflows**
|

- [CLAUDE.md](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory) should not exceed 150+ lines. [60 lines in humanlayer](https://www.humanlayer.dev/blog/writing-a-good-claude-md) (still not 100% guaranteed)

[60 lines in humanlayer](https://www.humanlayer.dev/blog/writing-a-good-claude-md) ([still not 100% guaranteed](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1qn9pb9/claudemd_says_must_use_agent_claude_ignores_it_80/)).
|
||||
- use [multiple CLAUDE.md](best-practice/claude-memory.md) for monorepos — ancestor + descendant loading
|
||||
- use [commands](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills) for your workflows instead of [agents](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents)
|
||||
- have feature specific [subagents](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents) (extra context) with [skills](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills) (progressive disclosure) instead of general qa, backend engineer.
|
||||
- [/memory](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory), [/rules](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory#organize-rules-with-clauderules), constitution.md does not guarantee anything
|

- use [.claude/rules/](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory#organize-rules-with-clauderules) to split large instructions

- [/memory](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory), constitution.md does not guarantee anything
|
||||
- avoid agent dumb zone, do manual /compact at max 50%
|
||||
- always start with [plan mode](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/common-workflows)
|
||||
- vanilla cc is better than any workflows with smaller tasks
|
||||
- use [skills in subfolders](reports/claude-skills-for-larger-mono-repos.md) for monorepos
|
||||
- [agent teams with tmux](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams) and [git worktrees](https://x.com/bcherny/status/2025007393290272904) for parallel development
|
||||
- use [Ralph Wiggum plugin](https://github.com/shanraisshan/novel-llm-26) for long-running autonomous tasks
|
||||
- use `ultrathink` keyword in prompts for [high effort reasoning](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/extended-thinking#tips-and-best-practices)
