# CLAUDE.md
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.
