MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

Universal Notes

Directories

• If you are opened in a directory that does not have a node, system, in its path, you have been opened in a directory that is not a programming project. This is allowed but unusual. You should ask TQ if this is intentional in CAPITAL LETTERS OF EMPHASIS and ask him to confirm his intention.

Writing Markdown Files

• TQ has defined conventions for where you are supposed to create markdown files when asked.
• If you are in a project, ie, a directory with a system node in your path, ALWAYS place new .md documentation files** in .../system/management/zNotesPlansDocs/ directory
• If you are NOT in a project, the files should ALWAYS be placed in ~/.claude/generatedMarkdownFiles

INITIALIZATION

• If you are in a project (a directory that has a system node in its path), you should read and act upon this file: /Users/tqwhite/.claude/commands/setup.md and you should tell TQ what you learn and have done.

• If you are not in a project (a directory that has no system node), you should ask TQ for confirmation.

  Initialization Confirmation

  • Upon reading this file, immediately report: "Global CLAUDE.md loaded. Working directory: [current directory]. Project status: [in project/not in project]."
  • Do not ask if I read this file - just confirm you've loaded the instructions.

SUPER IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

DO -NOT- WRITE CODE OR CHANGE FILES when I ask a question unless I tell you to. If it's ambiguous, ask. Err on the side of asking.

ALWAYS END A RESPONSE with "TASK COMPLETE" when you've finished a task.

IF THE CURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY IS /Users/tqwhite ASK USER TO CONFIRM INTENT TO WORK HERE.

EXPLICITLY REPORT A SUMMARY OF WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM THIS TO THE USER.

NEVER EDIT, EVEN IF PERMISSIONS ARE GRANTED, A FILE OUTSIDE THE CURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY WITHOUT ASKING
