My Claude Code Setup

I work on multiple git worktrees of the same repo simultaneously, so I keep my Claude config in a parent directory and symlink it into each worktree. One place to update settings, policies, skills - they all stay in sync.

I use a policy MCP server that serves my coding standards as markdown files. I reference them with a § notation and they get pulled into context automatically. The server recursively resolves references, so if one policy points to another (like general code rules pointing to C++ specific rules), it follows the chain and pulls in everything needed. I have general rules, code quality rules, and C++ specific style all defined once and injected when needed.

I've set up a few skills to streamline things. The engineer skill loads the relevant policies before any code gets written. The continue/restart skills let me save session state to a continuation plan and pick up where I left off later.

Checkmate handles linting validation - different rules for different parts of the codebase (C++ engine code vs TypeScript cloud workers vs shell scripts).

Basically: policies keep the code consistent, skills keep the workflow consistent, and the shared config keeps everything in sync across worktrees.

Minus points for redirect trapping.
Plenty of people will be working, just not everyone will make the jump to a post-AI society, especially older folks I imagine.
ok I looked it up and have a better understanding now.
But OpenAI's model isn't open source, how would they distill knowledge without direct access to the model?
Hmmm who owns Hacker News?
You are neither. People are not thoughts, whether ones own or not.

Just tried the demo, this had zero effect on my brightness.

Lol this isn't about helping users, this is about creating training data for MS to use to train their models.

What is hot stage jettison?
I use autopay through my bank. Never had an issue. They tend to have agreements with most payees that make it electronic, but otherwise they fall back to mailing a check.

Brain chemicals are best for me in the morning, until mid afternoon when the food coma sets in.

I'm curious what the regulations are around this? Does it vary place to place?

My calculations put that at a glide slope of around 3.6 degrees down.

Honestly, 2000 shares is nothing for JR. I expect he probably probably participates in the employee stock purchase program and offloads those shares each quarter.
I wish these studies would include the type of diabetes they mean. Type 1, 2? Both?
You still need to know what question to ask, I think it is just using another language to ask the question.
Take care of your back.
