Claude Code Field Kit: a tested safety hook and lean Claude.md

What happened

in an entirely unsupervised loop. (125 words) Paragraph 2 (80-160 words)*: Complementing the safety hook, the lean Claude.md templates establish a structured context window for the AI assistant. These templates use minimalist markdown formats to feed critical project rules, directory maps, and style guides directly to the model without wasting valuable token space. By keeping the templates lean

Claude Code Field Kit A small, battle-tested set of drop-in assets for Claude Code — the things you actually want on day one: a safety hook, real CLAUDE.md templates, and a genuinely useful skill. Each piece was exercised before it went in — the hook has passing test cases, the templates follow current Claude Code conventions.

How it works

What's inside 🛡️ hooks/ — a safety net for Bash guard-dangerous-bash.sh is a PreToolUse hook that blocks a few genuinely destructive commands (rm -rf /, rm -rf ~, fork bombs, mkfs, raw-disk dd, and --force pushes to main/master) and lets everything else through untouched. Two starters: nextjs-app-router.CLAUDE.md — Next.js App Router + TS + Tailwind python-uv.CLAUDE.md — Python managed with uv Both encode only the non-obvious: conventions, the definition of "done", and the landmines.

What to watch next

Cross-check release notes and official docs before changing production systems based on early reporting.

Developer Action Items

  • Diff the official changelog for Claude / Codex / Python before you bump — APIs, defaults, and removed flags only.
  • Install through the vendor's documented channel in staging; keep a one-command rollback and time-box the canary.
  • Grep your repo for old flag names, lockfile pins, and plugin versions that the notes mark as breaking.
  • Prefer the first patch cut over the day-zero tag unless you have a reason to be on the leading edge.
  • If HN Claude/Codex/Fable did not name a region, plan, or SKU, screenshot the official availability line before you promise it to users.
