It's nice to see Claude.md! I checked out the commits to see which files you wrote in which order (readme/claude) to learn how to use Claude Code. Can you share something on that?

The CLAUDE.md file in the repo is basically just the result of the `/init` command. But honestly, on small repos like this, it's not really needed.

Fun fact: I usually have `- Never say "You're absolutely right!".` in my CLAUDE.md files, but of course, Claude ignores it.

I actually put a directive to always reply to me in French just to see if it was reading the rules. Spoiler: it was reading the rules and ignoring the ones that I cared about but it could tell me about it in French so.. victory?

I've only had good experience concluding any prompt with "and don't talk about it" but my colleague says it hampers the agent because talking to itself helps it think. That's not been my experience, and I vastly prefer it not spending tokens I give no shits about
