Karpathy Principles for Claude Code: CLAUDE.md to Reduce Assumptions and Bloat
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-20
This project translates Andrej Karpathy's observations on LLM coding pitfalls into a concrete CLAUDE.md configuration to improve Claude Code behavior. It aims to prevent models from making wrong assumptions, reduce code bloat, ensure surgical edits, and encourage seeking clarification instead of over-engineering abstractions.
