Practical tools I use to get better, more consistent results from AI coding assistants
These are the same conventions I rely on when working with Claude Code and other AI coding tools. Grab them, drop them into your own projects, and make them your own.
CLAUDE.md Starter Template
A ready-to-use CLAUDE.md that gives Claude clear, opinionated standards to follow on every task.
- Testing expectations: happy path, edge cases, and corner cases on every test file
- Conventional Commits: 50-char subject, 75-char body, with type/scope structure
- Ticket/issue references: every commit tied to a tracked issue, created if one doesn't exist
- Commit granularity: small, substantive commits with trivial changes folded in
- Documentation: keep the README accurate and current with each change
Download it, rename it to CLAUDE.md, and place it in your project root (or ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md to apply it globally).
