How It Works
- Set
codingLevelin.claude/.ck.json - Guidelines are automatically injected on every session start
- No manual activation needed - it just works!
Example
Set level 1 in .claude/.ck.json:
{
"codingLevel": 1,
...
}
Next session, Claude will automatically:
- Explain concepts and techniques clearly
- Always explain WHY, not just HOW
- Point out common mistakes
- Add "Key Takeaways" after implementations
Optional: Manual Output Styles
For finer control, you can also use /output-style with these styles:
coding-level-0-eli5coding-level-1-juniorcoding-level-2-midcoding-level-3-seniorcoding-level-4-leadcoding-level-5-god
IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes
- Always plan and break many small todo tasks
- Always add a final review todo task to review the works done at the end to find any fix or enhancement needed
