> Apparently I once told it to always capitalize the first letter after a colon. I don't remember doing that, but hey, that's basic English grammar, dammit, so I can see myself getting pissy about it.

It's definitely not correct UK English grammar. TIL that the US uses some very odd colon rules.

yeah this is not a rule in the US either :(

This is unique to AP and 18th CMOS: MLA and old CMOS versions with grew up with say to do the opposite.

Also, please try to be less dismissive!

It's a US-specific rule, and only in certain style manuals. Chicago, for example, does not capitalise after a colon. (But perhaps your Google or AI had not heard of the Chicago Manual of Style?)

And there is an entire world out there, outside of the US (perhaps your Google or AI did not know that either?) that does not do this.

if you want to be a pedant, you are. not necessary, but certainly sufficient. and i was saying in real life, not in the Chicago Manual of Style.

Ha! I did the same after reading this article. I sometimes see memories being created but never really think twice about it. Two other tips I would recommend to do to kind of clean up your Claude Code: - Check the skills that you have installed via the /config command. It tells you how many tokens each skill uses and how many times it has been used since installation. I removed ~20 unused skills which cost roughly 3k tokens combined.

- Check the ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md files. This is your "global" CLAUDE.md file on this machine which gets read at the start of every session. Any global rule belongs here, rather than having it in every project's CLAUDE.md file.

It's definitely worth doing a bit of cleaning now and then to catch duplicate or outdated rules.
