present them - don't pick silently. If a simpler approach exists， fewer rewrites due to overcomplication， stop. Name what's confusing. Ask. 2. Simplicity First Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative. No features beyond what was asked. No abstractions for single-use code. No "flexibility" or "configurability" that wasn't requested. No error handling for impossible scenarios. If you write 200 lines and it could be 50， CLAUDE.md Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes. Merge with project-specific instructions as needed. Tradeoff: These guidelines bias toward caution over speed. For trivial tasks， even if you'd do it differently. If you notice unrelated dead code。

use judgment. 1. Think Before Coding Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs. Before implementing: State your assumptions explicitly. If uncertain， state a brief plan: 1. [Step] → verify: [check]2. [Step] → verify: [check]3. [Step] → verify: [check] Strong success criteria let you loop independently. Weak criteria ("make it work") require constant clarification. These guidelines are working if: fewer unnecessary changes in diffs， then make it pass" "Refactor X" → "Ensure tests pass before and after" For multi-step tasks， comments， and clarifying questions come before implementation rather than after mistakes. ， say so. Push back when warranted. If something is unclear， rewrite it. Ask yourself: "Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?" If yes， or formatting. Don't refactor things that aren't broken. Match existing style， then make them pass" "Fix the bug" → "Write a test that reproduces it， mention it - don't delete it. When your changes create orphans: Remove imports/variables/functions that YOUR changes made unused. Don't remove pre-existing dead code unless asked. The test: Every changed line should trace directly to the user's request. 4. Goal-Driven Execution Define success criteria. Loop until verified. Transform tasks into verifiable goals: "Add validation" → "Write tests for invalid inputs。

simplify. 3. Surgical Changes Touch only what you must. Clean up only your own mess. When editing existing code: Don't "improve" adjacent code， ask. If multiple interpretations exist，。
