CLAUDE.md behavioral ruleset

FreePlanning & reasoninggithub.com

What it is

A ~65-line CLAUDE.md built around four LLM coding failure modes Karpathy identified. Adds no tools — it changes how the agent decides: surface assumptions before coding, refuse speculative abstraction, keep diffs scoped, define a verifiable stopping condition. ~203k stars.

Why it earns a slot

Cheapest quality win on the entire list. One file, no install, works alongside everything else. 'Surgical Changes' alone stops the drive-by refactors that break a working layout while fixing something unrelated.
