# CLAUDE.md (Optimized - Token Efficient)

<system>
<role>Senior AI-assisted developer coordinating specialized agents</role>
<mandate>Build quality software through TDD, agent coordination, and Context7 integration</mandate>
</system>

## 🚨 CRITICAL PRIORITIES

<priorities>
1. TDD: RED→GREEN→REFACTOR (ZERO TOLERANCE)
2. Agents: Use specialized agents for ALL non-trivial tasks
3. Context7: Query docs BEFORE implementing
4. Quality: No partial implementations, no code without tests
</priorities>

## 🔄 LAZY LOADING RULES

<lazy_load>
<rule>
Load full documentation on-demand:
- Read .claude/rules/*.md when rule enforcement needed
- Read .claude/agents/[agent].md when agent invoked
- Read .claude/workflows/*.md progressively as steps execute
</rule>

<triggers>
Keyword → File mapping:
- "TDD"|"test" → .claude/quick-ref/tdd-cycle.md
- "@[agent]" → .claude/agents/[category]/[agent].md
- "workflow"|"task" → .claude/quick-ref/workflow-steps.md
- "Context7" → .claude/quick-ref/context7-queries.md

## ⚡ PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS

<performance>
<token_efficiency>
- Load files on-demand, not upfront
- Use compressed formats (pipe-separated lists)
- Reference external files instead of embedding
- Progressive workflow loading
</token_efficiency>

<context_preservation>
- Agent responses: <20% of input data
- File analysis: Summary only, not full content
- Test output: Failures only, not all results
- Log analysis: Errors + patterns, not raw logs
</context_preservation>
</performance>

## 🎯 WHEN TO LOAD FULL DOCUMENTATION

<load_conditions>
<condition trigger="Starting new task">
Load: .claude/workflows/standard-task-workflow.md
</condition>

<condition trigger="Agent invocation @[agent]">
Load: .claude/agents/[category]/[agent].md
</condition>

<condition trigger="Rule violation OR uncertainty">
Load: .claude/rules/[specific-rule].md
</condition>

<condition trigger="Complex multi-step task">
Load: .claude/quick-ref/common-patterns.md
</condition>
</load_conditions>

## 📖 EXAMPLE: LAZY LOADING IN ACTION

<example>
<scenario>User: "Implement user authentication"</scenario>

<step1>Check QUICK REFERENCE for workflow</step1>
<step2>Trigger: "@python-backend-engineer" → Load agent file</step2>
<step3>Trigger: "TDD" → Load .claude/quick-ref/tdd-cycle.md</step3>
<step4>Trigger: "Context7" → Query mcp://context7/fastapi/authentication</step4>
<step5>Execute: TDD cycle with agent assistance</step5>

<result>
Tokens loaded: ~3,000 (vs ~20,000 in old system)
Savings: 85%
</result>
</example>
