Claude Code Configuration - RuFlo V3

Behavioral Rules (Always Enforced)

• Do what has been asked; nothing more, nothing less
• NEVER create files unless they're absolutely necessary for achieving your goal
• ALWAYS prefer editing an existing file to creating a new one
• NEVER proactively create documentation files (*.md) or README files unless explicitly requested
• NEVER save working files, text/mds, or tests to the root folder
• Never continuously check status after spawning a swarm — wait for results
• ALWAYS read a file before editing it
• NEVER commit secrets, credentials, or .env files

File Organization

• NEVER save to root folder — use the directories below
• Use /src for source code files
• Use /tests for test files
• Use /docs for documentation and markdown files
• Use /config for configuration files
• Use /scripts for utility scripts
• Use /examples for example code

Project Architecture

• Follow Domain-Driven Design with bounded contexts
• Keep files under 500 lines
• Use typed interfaces for all public APIs
• Prefer TDD London School (mock-first) for new code
• Use event sourcing for state changes
• Ensure input validation at system boundaries

Project Config

• Topology: hierarchical-mesh
• Max Agents: 15
• Memory: hybrid
• HNSW: Enabled
• Neural: Enabled

Build & Test

# Build
npm run build

# Test
npm test

# Lint
npm run lint

• ALWAYS run tests after making code changes
• ALWAYS verify build succeeds before committing

Security Rules

• NEVER hardcode API keys, secrets, or credentials in source files
• NEVER commit .env files or any file containing secrets
• Always validate user input at system boundaries
• Always sanitize file paths to prevent directory traversal
• Run npx @claude-flow/cli@latest security scan after security-related changes

Concurrency: 1 MESSAGE = ALL RELATED OPERATIONS

• All operations MUST be concurrent/parallel in a single message
• Use Claude Code's Task tool for spawning agents, not just MCP
• ALWAYS batch ALL todos in ONE TodoWrite call (5-10+ minimum)
• ALWAYS spawn ALL agents in ONE message with full instructions via Task tool
• ALWAYS batch ALL file reads/writes/edits in ONE message
• ALWAYS batch ALL Bash commands in ONE message
