Original Reddit post

Hi all, Been experimenting with a way to keep Claude on track in my project. The original idea was to prevent token-expensive lookups (grep, ls, find). Instead of letting Claude do discovery and burn tokens like a candle - while filling up and quietly poisoning context - I gave it a map. A project backbone. After that, my experience changed drastically. Faster sessions, way fewer autocompacts. example: https://github.com/reporails/rules/blob/main/.reporails/backbone.yml curious if others have tried something similar note: I’m still exploring efficiency rules and tricks here submitted by /u/cleverhoods
