- All data stays in your local repository
- You control what gets committed to version control
- Consider keeping sensitive context files in
.gitignoreif needed - Claude only sees what's in the repository
- Start small - One goal at a time until you have a rhythm
- Be consistent - Daily check-ins, even if brief, beat sporadic deep sessions
- Update context - Keep your profile and obstacles files current
- Use resources - The curated recommendations can accelerate progress
- Review regularly - Weekly reviews catch drift before it becomes failure
- Be honest - Claude can only help with information you provide
- Iterate - Adjust goals and methods based on what you learn
