AI Summary
What This Project Does
This is a "behavior guideline" config file specifically for Claude Code, setting rules for the AI assistant.
What Problems It Solves
Fixes issues where AI gets too smart for its own good, over-engineers code, or accidentally changes unrelated files, making it more obedient.
Who It's For
Developers using Claude Code, especially those tired of AI making unwanted changes or writing overly complex code.
Typical Use Cases
1. Fixing bugs without breaking other features; 2. Adding features while keeping code simple; 3. Refactoring existing code without AI drifting off track.
Key Strengths & Highlights
Based on Andrej Karpathy's AI pitfall insights, directly constrains AI behavior without needing complex prompts every time.
Getting Started Requirements
Requires Claude Code CLI, install via one command, no server deployment or coding skills needed.
Purpose
Suitable for developers who want stricter and simpler AI-generated code. Not needed if you don't use Claude Code or don't mind AI over-engineering.
