The setup was tuned for Opus 4.5/4.6 and felt heavier on 4.7/4.8 (a more literal, more agentic
model executes soft prose imperatives close to the letter). Diagnosed via multi-agent research +
adversarial verification; realigned the format. See claude_plans/PLAN_opus_4_8_realign.md.
- Rewrite
global_config/CLAUDE.mdto tiered Hard rules / Preferences (was a flat ALWAYS/NEVER wall) - Add
global_config/output-styles/personal-voice.md(tone style,keep-coding-instructions: true, on by default viaoutputStyle) - Modernize
project-setupskill (scale-to-task-size; no "do not skip phases"; key-presence settings check) - Create
realign-projectskill (/realign) — existing-project counterpart to project-setup - Create
planskill (/custom_plan) — read-only sprint/feature planning intoclaude_plans/PLAN_<name>.md, no native plan mode (sidesteps approve-then-build) - Light-sync README, concept, AI_INSTRUCTIONS, doc-keeper, example_ai_instructions to the new format
- Apply live to
~/.claude/and field-test/realignon a real existing project
- Finish documenting the realignment in THIS repo's own docs (done 2026-05-30 doc-audit)
- First-class
docs/opus_4_8_alignment.md(the 10 alignment principles + the why) — file complete - Sync
global_config/settings.jsontemplate to the new live defaults (effortLevel high, includeCoAuthoredBy:false, deny example) — done - Decide: wire
personal-voiceoutput style on by default — DONE,outputStyleset in settings (tone is single-homed in the style, removed from CLAUDE.md) - Initialize git repository / first commit — done (commit
4c20f43) - Optional plan-rename hook; agent templates for common project types; install script
