A battle-tested workflow template for Claude Code, designed to overcome its inherent limitations in memory and context management. It transforms Claude Code into a persistent, self-improving development partner by implementing robust memory management, context engineering, and intelligent task routing. The template enables Claude to learn from past mistakes, maintain context across long sessions, and efficiently utilize different model tiers, making it suitable for production-level AI-assisted development.

How It Works

The core architecture employs a three-layer system to optimize context window usage. Layer 0 contains always-loaded rules (behaviors, memory flush triggers). Layer 1 loads on-demand documentation (agents, safety, task routing) as needed, conserving tokens. Layer 2 maintains hot, working memory (daily logs, projects, tasks) for instant recall. This layered approach ensures efficient token management and a persistent, context-aware development session.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Clone the repository and copy/symlink its contents into your Claude Code configuration directory (~/.claude/).
• Customization: Edit ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md to configure user info, project memory routes, and the Single Source of Truth (SSOT) table.
• Requirements: Claude Code CLI (Claude Max or API subscription). Optional: Codex CLI, Ollama for local models.
• Links: GitHub Repo: https://github.com/runesleo/claude-code-workflow. Telegram Community mentioned.

Highlighted Details

• SSOT (Single Source of Truth): Enforces canonical data locations, preventing inconsistencies.
• Memory Flush: Automatically saves progress on task completion, commits, and exits, ensuring no work is lost.
• Verification Before Completion: Mandates running verification commands and checking output before task completion, mitigating AI coding failures.
• Three-Tier Task Routing: Intelligently routes tasks to Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, Codex, or Local models based on complexity and cost.
• Sunday Rule: System optimization is scheduled for Sundays; other days prioritize shipping code.

Limitations & Caveats

The README positions this as a production workflow, implying a need for existing Claude Code familiarity. The "Sunday Rule" is a philosophical constraint that can be reconfigured but is presented as a core principle. No explicit technical limitations or known bugs are detailed.
