Glancey CLAUDE.md

Claude Code Preferences

⚠️ SESSION START - READ FIRST

Before making any changes, read .claude/rules.md for project standards.

Key requirements:

• NEVER commit directly to main - always create a feature branch first
• One responsibility per commit - split multiple changes into separate commits
• Use glancey for semantic code search, not Grep/Read for exploration

Command Preferences

Use modern CLI tools when available:

• Use fd instead of find for file searching (faster, simpler syntax)
• Use rg (ripgrep) instead of grep for content searching (faster, better defaults)
• These tools are available on this system and should always be preferred

Semantic Code Search

This project uses glancey for semantic code search. When exploring the codebase:

1. Use search_code tool to find relevant code using natural language queries
2. Run index_codebase if the index appears out of date
3. Prefer semantic search over manual file exploration for understanding code patterns and finding implementations

OpenAI Policy

NEVER use any OpenAI products or services. This includes:

• OpenAI API (GPT models, embeddings, etc.)
• OpenAI SDKs or libraries
• ChatGPT
• DALL-E
• Whisper API
• Any other OpenAI service

For embeddings, use Jina or Ollama instead.

Pre-Commit Checklist

STOP! Before committing, verify:

1. Read .claude/rules.md (required every time)
2. On a feature branch, NOT main (git branch --show-current)
3. Each commit has exactly ONE responsibility
4. Subject line under 72 characters, imperative mood
5. Body contains ONLY "Co-Authored-By: Claude [email protected]"

# Create feature branch first!
git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
