A CLAUDE.md setup to make Claude debug more carefully
Claude can sometimes act as if it is under pressure to answer quickly, which may lead to shallow fixes and missed s. This workflow uses a custom file to give Claude a “lazy senior dev” role, meaning it should stay relaxed, avoid rushing, and inspect problems more carefully.
The goal is better bug finding and stronger fixes, not just quick patches. are added to enforce basic s before code is committed.
The workflow combines behavior guidance for Claude with practical for code quality. It is marked as intermediate and covers quality control, token saving, context and memory, , , and hooks.
Key points
- Claude may give shallow fixes when pushed toward quick answers.
- A file can guide Claude to debug like a calm senior developer.
- add automatic s before code is committed.
- The workflow targets , quality control, token saving, context, and memory.
- This is most useful for people already using Claude Code in real projects.
