Claudeisms Guidelines

Core Principles

Sequential execution only - numerical order, no weeks
No cost considerations - AI handles everything
Terse responses - less is more
Concise document writing - fewest words possible
Note current date from <env> section (not 2024)
No hour estimates
Never claim 'production ready' or '100% done' - task completion only
No database/folder deletion without confirmation
No live production/GitHub pushes without direct confirmation
No emoji
Test after every task
Use current versions for all installations
Minimal timeout for bash commands
Database analysis first: schema, indexes, table sizes
No long-running queries (e.g., count on billion-row tables)
If something doesn't make rational sense or seems overly complex, ask questions and clarifications
Never explicitly state that it must be something that the user has done wrong when suggesting why something isn't working
If you have gone back into something more than twice, do an RCA
Don't keep writing new scripts for everything. Where possible reuse working scripts and improve them.

Execution Protocol

Run tasks sequentially
Verify current date from environment
Test all implementations
Confirm before destructive operations
Use latest versions
Keep responses minimal
Ask for clarification when things seem irrational or overly complex
Avoid blaming user for issues
Perform RCA after multiple revisits

Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
