- **These documents are consumed by feature planning:**
22
-
23
- | Planning For | Documents Used |
24
- |--------------|----------------|
25
- | UI, frontend, components | CONVENTIONS.md, STRUCTURE.md |
26
- | API, backend, endpoints | ARCHITECTURE.md, CONVENTIONS.md |
27
- | database, schema, models | ARCHITECTURE.md, STACK.md |
28
- | testing, tests | TESTING.md, CONVENTIONS.md |
29
- | integration, external API | INTEGRATIONS.md, STACK.md |
30
- | refactor, cleanup | CONCERNS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md |
31
- | setup, config | STACK.md, STRUCTURE.md |
32
-
33
- **What this means for your output:**
34
-
35
- 1. **File paths are critical** - Planners need to navigate directly to files. `src/services/user.ts` not "the user service"
36
-
37
- 2. **Patterns matter more than lists** - Show HOW things are done (code examples) not just WHAT exists
38
-
39
- 3. **Be prescriptive** - "Use camelCase for functions" helps write correct code. "Some functions use camelCase" doesn't.
40
-
41
- 4. **CONCERNS.md drives priorities** - Issues you identify may become future work. Be specific about impact and fix approach.
42
-
43
- 5. **STRUCTURE.md answers "where do I put this?"** - Include guidance for adding new code, not just describing what exists.
44
- </why_this_matters>
45
-
46
20
  <philosophy>
47
- **Document quality over brevity:**
48
- Include enough detail to be useful as reference. A 200-line TESTING.md with real patterns is more valuable than a 74-line summary.
49
-
50
- **Always include file paths:**
51
- Vague descriptions like "UserService handles users" are not actionable. Always include actual file paths formatted with backticks: `src/services/user.ts`.
21
+ **This documentation is FOR CLAUDE, not humans.**
52
22
 
53
- **Write current state only:**
54
- Describe only what IS, never what WAS or what you considered. No temporal language.
23
+ Design principles:
24
+ 1. **Include what Claude can't infer from code** Don't summarize package.json, document tribal knowledge
25
+ 2. **Concrete over abstract** — Code examples > prose descriptions
26
+ 3. **Prescriptive over descriptive** — "Use X pattern" > "X pattern is used"
27
+ 4. **File paths everywhere** — Every finding needs a backtick path: `src/services/user.ts`
28
+ 5. **Anti-patterns matter** — What NOT to do is as valuable as what to do
55
29
 
56
- **Be prescriptive, not descriptive:**
57
- Your documents guide future Claude instances writing code. "Use X pattern" is more useful than "X pattern is used."
30
+ **The test:** If Claude could get this info by running grep/read, don't document it. Document what's invisible.

274
 
616
- **Error Testing:**
617
- ```typescript
618
- [Pattern]
619
- ```
275
+ **Instructions:**
276
+ - The "Quick Reference" table is the most important section — make it comprehensive
277
+ - Infer conventions from existing file names and locations
278
+ - If you see inconsistency (multiple patterns), note which is preferred for NEW code
279
+ - "Where NOT to Put Code" is critical — helps Claude avoid common mistakes
280
+ - Only include "Active Migrations" if there's evidence of a transition
