Patterns

The moves your team makes on purpose. Named recipes worth reaching for, plus an ## Anti-patterns section listing the moves you deliberately avoid. Both sides matter; both ship in CLAUDE.md.

See it in motion

Where to find it

  • Localhost: /patterns.html?repo=<id>
  • Source: .claude/brain/patterns.md (positive recipes + ## Anti-patterns section)
  • Cross-repo: Playbooks tab shows patterns shared across 2+ tracked repos.

What it does for you

Recipes get reused, not re-invented.Named patterns ("state-doc PR fast-path," "junction node_modules in worktrees") give the team and the AI a shared vocabulary for moves that already work.
Anti-patterns block the wrong moves.Listing what you DON'T do is as important as listing what you do. The AI reads both and steers clear of the foot-guns you've already mapped.
Cross-repo patterns promote to Playbooks.When the same pattern shows up in 2+ repos, the Playbooks tab surfaces it as a candidate for the global brain.

Configure

Nothing — patterns.md is a flat .md. Anti-patterns nest under ## Anti-patterns in the same file.

Use it well

Add a pattern the second time you reach for the same move. The first time is "just doing the work;" the second is a named pattern. Three is the threshold for promoting to Playbooks if it's cross-repo.
