What's the best rule in your global CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?
I keep a small set of rules that I use in every project.
Some of them help a lot. Some of them, I'm not sure.
So I'm curious: what is the one rule you would never remove?
I'll go first. English is my second language. My agent often
wrote in strange "AI-ish" words, and that was a real barrier
for me. This rule fixed it:
Write everything I read in **plain English**, in the style of
Simplified Technical English, at CEFR B1 level
Bad rules you deleted are also interesting. :)
