This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
This is an AI Team Management Best Practices repository containing visual guides, checklists, and interactive tools for implementing AI-augmented development teams. The project helps development teams transition from traditional practices to AI-first methodologies by treating AI agents as specialized team members.
Interactive HTML Visualizations (src/):
- Self-contained HTML files with embedded CSS and JavaScript
- No build process or dependencies required
- Open directly in browsers for interactive experiences
- Each file represents a complete educational module:
- Mental model transformations (traditional dev → AI agents)
- Assessment tools with scoring algorithms
- Interactive checklists with progress tracking
- Visual guides with animated diagrams
Documentation System (docs/):
- Follows information-dense keywords (IDK) methodology
- Hierarchical command dictionary organized by function
- Research artifacts and consensus findings
- AI instruction files for consistent assistant behavior
Content Philosophy:
- Spec-driven development approach
- Agent orchestration over individual AI usage
- Cost management as resource allocation
- Quality assurance integration throughout workflows
Information Dense Keywords System:
- Commands organized in
docs/dictionary/by category (core, development, documentation, quality-assurance, workflow, git) - Each command file follows consistent structure: Definition → Usage → Expected Output Format
- Supports command chaining for complex workflows
- Reference
docs/information-dense-keywords.mdfor the complete index
Self-Contained Interactive Tools:
- All HTML files in
src/are complete applications - No external dependencies or build systems
- Embedded styling uses CSS custom properties for theming
- JavaScript implements scoring, progress tracking, and dynamic content generation
# Create new HTML file in src/
# Follow existing pattern: embedded CSS, self-contained JavaScript
# Include interactive elements (scoring, progress bars, dynamic recommendations)# Follow IDK methodology in docs/dictionary/
# Maintain consistent command structure
# Update docs/information-dense-keywords.md index when adding commands- All HTML visualizations must be browser-ready without build steps
- Documentation follows spec-driven development principles
- Interactive tools should provide measurable outcomes and actionable recommendations
- Maintain consistent visual design language across all HTML files
This repository implements the IDK methodology for AI collaboration. Reference docs/AI.md for complete assistant instructions. Key commands applicable to this project:
document this- Generate comprehensive documentation with examplesanalyze this- Examine code/architecture for patterns and implementation opportunitiesspec this- Create detailed technical specifications for new featuresreview this- Perform thorough assessment of interactive tools and documentation
# Sequential development workflow
analyze this assessment tool then spec this improvement then document this change
# Parallel quality assurance
test this interactive HTML and review this documentationMental Model Focus: The project emphasizes treating AI as specialized team members rather than tools. When adding content, maintain this perspective throughout all materials.
Measurement-Driven: All interactive tools should provide quantifiable assessments, progress tracking, and concrete metrics. Avoid vague qualitative measures.
Implementation-Ready: Content should bridge the gap between concept and practice. Include specific templates, checklists, and actionable frameworks rather than theoretical discussions.
Visual Learning: Leverage interactive diagrams, progress indicators, and visual metaphors to communicate complex orchestration concepts effectively.
