/init

File	Description
CLAUDE.md	generated with /init commit to source control shared with other developers
CLAUDE.local.md	do not commit to source control not shared with other developers contains personal instructions and customizations
∼/.claude/CLAUDE.md	used with all projects on your machine contains instructions to be used on all projects

∼/.claude/CLAUDE.md

# Global Instructions

## Environment
- Windows 11, PowerShell
- Use Windows paths and PowerShell syntax when giving terminal instructions

## C# Code Style
- Use collection expressions (`[.. x, y]`, `[a, b, c]`) instead of `new[]`, `new List<T>()`, `.ToArray()`, `.ToList()` where applicable (IDE0300). See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/code-analysis/style-rules/ide0300
- Use collection initializers (`new List<T> { a, b }`) instead of separate `.Add()` calls (IDE0028). See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/code-analysis/style-rules/ide0028
- Use `record` types for DTOs instead of classes

## Git
- Do NOT add `Co-Authored-By` trailers in commit messages
