## 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- Archive outdated decisions and old session logs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- Review documentation monthly for outdated information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

## Usage Examples
### Setting Up a New Feature
1. Review `knowledge-base/development/feature-roadmap.md` for current priorities
2. Use `templates/session-start-prompt.md` to begin development session
3. Document decisions in `knowledge-base/development/decision-history.md`
4. Update progress in feature roadmap
5. Use `templates/session-end-prompt.md` to consolidate session
### Stage Transition Process
1. Assess readiness using `project-config/stage-transition-templates.md`
2. Run comprehensive knowledge consolidation
3. Update project configuration for new stage
4. Archive previous stage documentation
5. Upload refined documentation to Claude Project
### Emergency Recovery
1. Identify issue type (context loss, technical problem, architecture drift)
2. Follow specific procedure in `workflow/emergency-recovery.md`
3. Use appropriate recovery templates
4. Update documentation based on lessons learned
5. Implement preventive measures for future
