CLAUDE.md
Project-specific instructions for Claude Code.
Innovation Philosophy
Excellence over MVP. Start with what's possible, design for what's desirable, constrain to what's viable last.
Virtual Team Personas
When I mention @name, invoke the corresponding skill. Each persona's full definition lives in .claude/skills/.

Multi-persona: @maya + @hicks design this component
Animation Pipeline
/prototype "concept" → HTML prototype
/animate prototype.html → Self-running autoplay
/brief → Guided creative brief
/storyboard → Brief → scenes
/sizzle → Scenes → rendered video
/review → Quality evaluation
Personalities: cinematic-dark, editorial, neutral-light, montage. See /animate skill for details.
AI-Assumed Design Philosophy
Intelligence is infrastructure, not a feature to market. No sparkles, gradients, or "AI-powered" labels.
Git Workflow
- Feature branches required. Never commit directly to main.
- Run
@dex repo checkbefore starting new work. - Pre-push: builds clean, no console errors, docs updated, worktrees cleaned up.
What's inside
1 innovation philosophy, 10 persona definitions, 6 animation commands, 3 git workflow rules
Change this for your project
- Replace
getfndd/animaticwith your own repository name - Replace persona names and skills in the table with your own team
- Replace animation pipeline commands like
/prototypewith your own workflow
Where it goes
Save as CLAUDE.md in your repository root. Claude Code reads it automatically at the start of every session.
