-## File Descriptions
+## Emergency Procedures
 
-### Core Configuration
-- **project-description.md**: Current stage description for Claude Project
-- **project-instructions.md**: Custom instructions that define Claude's behavior
-- **stage-transition-templates.md**: Templates for moving between development stages
+### Context Loss Recovery
+If Claude loses project context:
+1. Use `workflow/emergency-recovery.md` procedures
+2. Re-upload key documentation from `knowledge-base/`
+3. Run context reconstruction prompt from templates
 
-### Documentation
-- **development-guide.md**: Technical reference for building the game
-- **user-guide.md**: Player-focused documentation and troubleshooting
-- **game-design-decisions.md**: Record of design choices and their rationale
+### Project Corruption
+If Claude Project becomes unusable:
+1. Create new project with current stage name
+2. Upload all current documentation from this repository
+3. Use `project-config/` files to recreate project settings
 
-### Knowledge Base
-Organized documentation that gets uploaded to Claude Projects:
-- **game-design/**: Mechanics, progression, scoring, visual design
-- **technical/**: Performance, cross-platform compatibility, testing
-- **development/**: Feature roadmap, session logs, decision history
+## Best Practices
 
-### Templates
-Ready-to-use prompts for consistent Claude Project workflow:
-- **session-start-prompt.md**: Beginning of each development session
-- **session-end-prompt.md**: End of session consolidation (CRITICAL)
-- **weekly-review-prompt.md**: Friday progress review
-- **stage-transition-prompt.md**: Moving between development stages
+### Documentation Hygiene
+- Keep knowledge base under 10MB total
+- Archive outdated decisions and old session logs
+- Maintain clear file naming conventions
+- Update templates based on what works in practice
+
+### Workflow Discipline
+- **Never skip session end consolidation** - 5 minutes saves hours later
+- **Update documentation immediately** - Fresh memory = better docs
+- **Use stage transitions properly** - Don't rush between stages
+- **Trust the system** - Consistency compounds over time
+
+### Quality Control
+- Review documentation monthly for outdated information
+- Ensure project instructions reflect current development approach
+- Keep templates updated based on actual usage patterns
+- Maintain clear decision history for future reference
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+### Project Health Indicators
+- ✅ Clear next steps every session
+- ✅ Consistent architectural decisions
+- ✅ Growing knowledge base with relevant patterns
+- ✅ Smooth stage transitions when appropriate
+- ✅ Minimal context repetition needed
+
+### Warning Signs
+- 🚨 Repeating context to Claude → Emergency consolidation needed
+- 🚨 Contradicting earlier decisions → Review decision history
+- 🚨 Unclear next steps → Run project status reconstruction
+- 🚨 Large knowledge base files → Archive and reorganize
+
+## Contributing to This System
+
+This repository represents a living system for maintaining Claude Projects effectively. Improvements welcome:
+
+1. **Template Refinements**: Better prompts based on actual usage
+2. **Workflow Optimizations**: More efficient daily/weekly routines
+3. **Documentation Patterns**: Better organization schemes
+4. **Emergency Procedures**: Additional recovery strategies
