FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain a living runbook to guide every developer session across a repository?

A living runbook curates high-priority, repeatable guidance in a per-repo napkin file. You organize rules by category with a top-10 cap to accelerate work across multiple sessions.

What is the best way to curate recurring high-value guidance for a codebase?

Curating recurring guidance is best done by categorizing updatable rules with "Do instead" actions in a central knowledge base. This ensures top-priority guidance stays accessible for every session.

How do I set up a per-repo knowledge base for session productivity?

To set up a per-repo knowledge base, create or open the napkin file at the `.claude/napkin.md` path. Begin curating top-priority guidance organized by categories to guide your workflows.

Can I use optional directories to support execution and resource lookup in a runbook?

Yes, the runbook optionally uses directories like scripts, references, and assets to support execution, lookup, and resources alongside the main guidance file.

Are there limitations on how many rules I can store per category in a curated runbook?

Yes, the curated runbook applies a top-10 cap per category. This constraint limits the number of stored rules to ensure only the highest-value guidance remains prioritized.
