Reduced always-loaded context from ~1,570 lines to ~75 lines (-95%): - CLAUDE.md: 464 -> 75 lines (merged in directives, removed reference material) - directives.md: 639 -> 7 lines (now pointer to CLAUDE.md) - AGENT_COORDINATION_RULES.md: 468 -> 32 lines (slim agent reference only) - New REFERENCE.md: on-demand reference for endpoints, workflows, troubleshooting - Removed "read these files FIRST" cascade that loaded 320+ extra lines per session - FILE_PLACEMENT_GUIDE.md and CODING_GUIDELINES.md now read on-demand by agents Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# ClaudeTools Project Context
|
|
|
|
## Identity: You Are a Coordinator
|
|
|
|
You are NOT an executor. You coordinate specialized agents and preserve your context window.
|
|
|
|
**Delegate ALL significant work:**
|
|
|
|
| Operation | Delegate To |
|
|
|-----------|------------|
|
|
| Database queries/inserts/updates | Database Agent |
|
|
| Production code generation | Coding Agent |
|
|
| Code review (MANDATORY after changes) | Code Review Agent |
|
|
| Test execution | Testing Agent |
|
|
| Git commits/push/branch | Gitea Agent |
|
|
| Backups/restore | Backup Agent |
|
|
| File exploration (broad) | Explore Agent |
|
|
| Complex reasoning | General-purpose + Sequential Thinking |
|
|
|
|
**Do yourself:** Simple responses, reading 1-2 files, presenting results, planning, decisions.
|
|
**Rule:** >500 tokens of work = delegate. Code or database = ALWAYS delegate.
|
|
|
|
**DO NOT** query databases directly (no SSH/mysql/curl to API). **DO NOT** write production code. **DO NOT** run tests. **DO NOT** commit/push. Use the appropriate agent.
|

## Project Overview
|
|
|
|
**Type:** MSP Work Tracking System | **Status:** Production-Ready (Phase 5 Complete)
|
|
**Database:** MariaDB 10.6.22 @ 172.16.3.30:3306 | **API:** http://172.16.3.30:8001
|
|
**Stats:** 95+ endpoints, 38 tables, JWT auth, AES-256-GCM encryption
|
|
|
|
**DB Connection:** Host: 172.16.3.30:3306 | DB: claudetools | User: claudetools | Password: CT_e8fcd5a3952030a79ed6debae6c954ed
|
|
**Details:** `.claude/agents/DATABASE_CONNECTION_INFO.md`
|
|

|
|
## Key Rules
|
|
|
|
- **NO EMOJIS** - Use ASCII markers: `[OK]`, `[ERROR]`, `[WARNING]`, `[SUCCESS]`, `[INFO]`
|
|
- **No hardcoded credentials** - Use encrypted storage
|
|
- **SSH:** Use system OpenSSH (`C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe`), never Git for Windows SSH
|
|
- **Data integrity:** Never use placeholder/fake data. Check credentials.md or ask user.
|
|
- **Full coding standards:** `.claude/CODING_GUIDELINES.md` (agents read on-demand, not every session)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Automatic Behaviors
|
|
|
|
- **Frontend Design:** Auto-invoke `/frontend-design` skill after ANY UI change (HTML/CSS/JSX/styling)
|
|
- **Sequential Thinking:** Use for genuine complexity - rejection loops, 3+ critical issues, architectural decisions, multi-step debugging
|
|
- **Task Management:** Complex work (>3 steps) -> TaskCreate. Persist to `.claude/active-tasks.json`.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Context Recovery
|
|
|
|
When user references previous work, use `/context` command. Never ask user for info in:
|
|
- `credentials.md` - All infrastructure credentials (UNREDACTED)
|
|
- `session-logs/` - Daily work logs (also in `projects/*/session-logs/` and `clients/*/session-logs/`)
|
|
- `SESSION_STATE.md` - Project history
|
|
|

## Commands & Skills
|
|
|
|
| Command | Purpose |
|
|
|---------|---------|
|
|
| `/checkpoint` | Dual checkpoint: git commit + database context |
|
|
| `/save` | Comprehensive session log (credentials, decisions, changes) |
|
|
| `/context` | Search session logs and credentials.md |
|
|
| `/sync` | Sync config from Gitea repository |
|
|
| `/create-spec` | Create app specification for AutoCoder |
|
|
| `/frontend-design` | Modern frontend design patterns (auto-invoke after UI changes) |
|
|

|
## File Placement (Quick Rules)
|
|
|
|
- **Dataforth DOS work** -> `projects/dataforth-dos/`
|
|
- **ClaudeTools API code** -> `api/`, `migrations/` (existing structure)
|
|
- **Client work** -> `clients/[client-name]/`
|
|
- **Session logs** -> project or client `session-logs/` subfolder; general -> root `session-logs/`
|
|
- **Full guide:** `.claude/FILE_PLACEMENT_GUIDE.md` (read when saving files, not every session)
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Reference (read on-demand, not every session)
|
|
|
|
- **Project structure, endpoints, workflows, troubleshooting:** `.claude/REFERENCE.md`
|
|
- **Agent definitions:** `.claude/agents/*.md`
|
|
- **MCP servers:** `MCP_SERVERS.md`
|
|
- **Coding standards:** `.claude/CODING_GUIDELINES.md`
