One thing I would include is that uv should be used for project management tasks if available.

No expert here (yet!) but this seems like a reasonable starting point!
I think uv vs not isn't something we need to tell AI agents at this stage (seems up to user preference still). But if you think it will benefit most people I can live with it

I am worried about this being non-DRY. If this works it seems preferable

Yes, I agree, but just mentioning the file is a soft instruction and requires a tool call, which an agent can or cannot follow. I've therefore added a hard instruction to import that file (as it is not very long I think that's OK).

Okay this seems reasonable. I worry a bit about this getting out of date, but hopefully people using this can periodically update (or tell Claude to update it)! If it creates too much noise or drifts too badly we can strip out some of the details that are more likely to change over time (e.g., which readers exist). Thanks @cbrnr ! |

I agree! But we just have to let Claude check and update it regularly (e.g., for every new release or something). |

I realize this was already merged, but I was on holiday when it came through. Couple of comments that may be worth a follow-up

Done in #14044, let's use that PR to update/add/modify whatever we missed in the first iteration!

this surprised me; can you point to where a decision was made to use absolute imports for new code?

I think it would be a good idea if we provided a
CLAUDE.md, so that contributors using AI can save tokens (energy). I intentionally do not want to add anAGENTS.md, since Claude doesn't read that by default, but other AI tools readCLAUDE.mdAFAIK.I've auto-generated this file with some minor manual edits. Let me know if it's missing something, or if there are any errors.
