Core Principles

These principles apply to ALL agent instruction files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md).

1. Minimal Root File

The root instruction file should be as small as possible. Every token loads on every request regardless of relevance.

Absolute minimum content:

  • One-sentence project description (acts as role prompt)
  • Package manager (if not npm)
  • Non-standard build/test commands

Everything else belongs in progressive disclosure files.

2. Progressive Disclosure
