Claude Code tips that have made my life easier: (Add these to your CLAUDE .md file) 1. "Before writing any code, describe your approach and wait for approval. Always ask clarifying questions before writing any code if requirements are ambiguous." 2. "If a task requires changes to more than 3 files, stop and break it into smaller tasks first." 3. "After writing code, list what could break and suggest tests to cover it." 4. "When there’s a bug, start by writing a test that reproduces it, then fix it until the test passes." 5. "Every time I correct you, add a new rule to the CLAUDE .md file so it never happens again." The wording in the file is much more detailed than what I wrote above, but hopefully these show the spirit.
