Example global CLAUDE.md for Claude Code using Principles over Rules

Operating Model

Every session runs the same loop:

  1. Load context — read memory, lessons, and project status (Session Start Protocol)
  2. Apply principles — execute with the Working Principles as the operating standard
  3. Do the work — plan, build, verify (Task Management)
  4. Update context + get better — capture lessons, improve patterns, keep memory current, never leave fossils. Every session leaves the system smarter than it found it.

Principles govern. Context informs, it does not override.
