+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**"How to Talk to Claude"** is a comprehensive AI collaboration guide built with Astro + Starlight. The project is complete and legendary-status, containing 4 complete learning paths from beginner to advanced AI collaboration techniques. Development server runs at `http://localhost:4321`.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+| Command | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| `npm run dev` | Start development server (localhost:4321) |
+| `npm run build` | Build production site to ./dist/ |
+| `npm run preview` | Preview build locally |
+| `npm run astro` | Run Astro CLI commands |
+
+**No test commands** - this is a documentation site without a test suite.
+
+## Architecture & Structure
+
+### Technology Stack
+- **Astro 5.6.1** with Starlight documentation framework
+- **Starlight components** for rich interactive content (Cards, Tabs, Asides, Steps, etc.)
+- **Starlight Theme Obsidian** for modern design
+- **Starlight Site Graph** plugin for content visualization
+- **Custom CSS** in `src/styles/custom.css`
+
+### Content Architecture
+All content files are **MDX format** (not Markdown) to support Starlight components:
+
+```
+src/content/docs/
+├── index.mdx                 # Homepage with 4 learning paths
+├── beginners/               # 18 complete guides (tutorials, how-tos, explanations, reference)
+├── intermediate/            # 27 complete guides (advanced partnerships, domain-specific)
+├── advanced/               # 14 guides (MCP-powered connected AI ecosystems)
+└── ayfkm/                  # 31 guides ("Are You Kidding Me" - consciousness-level AI)
+```
+
+### Content Types (Diataxis Framework)
+1. **Tutorials** - Step-by-step learning experiences
+2. **How-To Guides** - Problem-solving focused 
+3. **Explanations** - Understanding-oriented theory
+4. **Reference** - Quick lookup information
+
+### Component System
+**Import pattern for all .mdx files:**
+```jsx
+import { 
+  Card, CardGrid, LinkCard, 
+  Aside, Badge, Steps, Tabs, TabItem, 
+  Code, Icon 
+} from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
+```
+
+**Proven enhancement patterns:**
+- Opening `Aside` callouts for key insights
+- `CardGrid` for organizing multiple concepts
+- `Tabs` for before/after examples or alternatives
+- `Steps` for sequential processes
+- Markdown code blocks for conversation examples
+- `LinkCards` for enhanced navigation
+
+## Content Standards
+
+### Voice & Style
+- **Conversational and human-centered** - explain like talking to a friend
+- **Experience-driven** - focus on real collaboration, not theory
+- **Problem-focused** - address actual AI frustrations
+- **Inclusive** - work across different tech backgrounds
+- **Psychologically aware** - acknowledge emotional aspects of learning
+
+### Content Guidelines
+- Avoid jargon unless necessary
+- Use conversational examples over formal templates
+- Include personal anecdotes and relatable analogies
+- Be honest about AI limitations
+- Every section provides actionable value
+- Target 600-800 lines for enhanced content pieces
+
+## Navigation Structure
+
+The site uses **two-tier navigation** with collapsed sections organized by:
+- **Beginners** (Start here badge, always expanded)
+- **Intermediate** (collapsed by default)  
+- **Advanced** (MCP-Powered badge, collapsed)
+- **AYFKM** (🧙‍♂️ badge, collapsed)
+
+All internal links use `/path/to/page/` format and are properly connected.
+
+## Project Status
+
+**LEGENDARY COMPLETION ACHIEVED**: 
+- All 4 learning paths are 100% complete
+- 93 total content pieces across all guides
+- ~20,000+ lines of professional AI collaboration content
+- Zero placeholder content remaining
+- All MDX syntax and component integration working perfectly
+
+This represents the most comprehensive AI collaboration guide ever created, spanning from basic conversations to consciousness-level AI partnership.
+
+## Working with This Codebase
+
+When making changes:
+1. **Always use .mdx format** for content files
+2. **Import Starlight components** at the top of files when needed
+3. **Follow the proven enhancement patterns** documented in PROJECT-CONTEXT.md
+4. **Test locally** with `npm run dev` before making significant changes
+5. **Respect the content voice and style** - conversational, experience-driven, inclusive
+6. **Use the Diataxis framework** - each piece should clearly fit one of the four content types
+
+The project is complete and stable - focus on maintenance and refinement rather than major structural changes.
