Key Takeaways from the HumanLayer Blog Post:
1. LLMs are stateless - CLAUDE.md is the primary onboarding mechanism
2. Less is more - Keep under 300 lines (ideally ~60 lines); Claude reliably follows 150-200 instructions max
3. Three-part framework: WHAT (structure), WHY (purpose), HOW (workflows)
4. Progressive disclosure - Reference docs rather than embed everything
5. Don't use Claude as a linter - Remove style instructions; use deterministic tools
6. Only universally applicable guidance - Avoid task-specific content
