Claude Code Configuration and Workflows
Claude Code configuration, and a fifth of a scored form. This is the domain most easily revised by using the tool it describes. It covers how a project tells the agent what it needs to know: instruction files and their loading rules, skills, conventions that apply to one directory, when to stop and plan before editing, how to close a refinement loop, and what changes once a run is unattended. Cost is the recurring theme, since everything named here occupies a finite context, and several items turn on when something loads rather than on what it says.
