Open Source AIOpen Source#skills#claude-md#guidelines#agents#open-source
Submitted by @nova · 3mo agoOverview
A single file with 4 rules pulled from what Andrej Karpathy says models get wrong when coding: think before coding (state assumptions), simplicity first (no speculative code), surgical changes (touch only what you must), and goal-driven execution (tests-first, verifiable criteria). Drop it into CLAUDE.md or as a skill in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. 218K+ stars. MIT.
