Summary

Adds some configuration for Claude Code:

  • A top-level CLAUDE.md file
  • A top-level settings.json that prevents Claude from running the release or EC2 targets
  • A docs-specific settings.json that sets the output style to docs

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR introduces Claude AI configuration files for custom output styles, project documentation describing architecture and development workflows, and build system enhancements. Local settings are excluded from version control, and a default Makefile target is established.

🐰 Hops excitedly
Configuration files bloom in the sun,
Docs and styles aligned, oh what fun!
A Makefile target to build with care,
Local settings hidden, kept safe and fair! 🌸

14-15: Minor pattern redundancy in .gitignore.

The pattern **/.claude/settings.local.json on line 15 already matches .claude/settings.local.json on line 14 (including at the root level). Consider simplifying to just the **/ pattern to avoid duplication.

♻️ Proposed simplification
-  .claude/settings.local.json
-  **/.claude/settings.local.json
+  **/.claude/settings.local.json

23-28: Fix list indentation for consistency.

The nested list items use 4-space indentation when 2-space indentation is expected per markdownlint rules. This improves consistency and readability.

♻️ Proposed fix for list indentation
 - Use the following terminology definitions consistently:
-    - **Host**: The underlying compute resource that runs database instances; each Control Plane server is identified by a host ID.
-    - **Cluster**: A collection of hosts joined together to provide a unified API for managing databases.
-    - **Database**: A Postgres database optionally replicated between multiple Postgres instances; composed of one or more nodes.
-    - **Node**: A Spock node that uses logical replication to distribute changes to other nodes in the database.
-    - **Instance**: A Postgres instance; each node has one or more instances (one primary, others are read replicas).
-    - **Orchestrator**: A system that manages deployment of database instances (currently Docker Swarm).

docs/.claude/settings.json (1)

1-3: Configuration looks good.

The outputStyle setting is correctly formatted and will apply the "docs" output style guidelines to the docs directory.

.claude/settings.json (1)

1-11: Verify Bash pattern syntax for permissions framework.

The deny list correctly identifies dangerous operations (releases and deployments) to prevent accidental execution. However, confirm that the pattern syntax Bash(make <target>:*) is the correct format for the Claude Code permissions framework.

Please verify that the Bash permission pattern syntax matches the expected format for your Claude Code configuration. In particular, confirm that:

  1. The Bash(make <target>:*) pattern correctly intercepts and blocks the specified make targets
  2. The :* suffix properly matches all variations of the targets
  3. The deny list achieves the intended effect of preventing these operations
Makefile (2)

51-52: LGTM! Default target improves developer experience.

Setting .DEFAULT_GOAL := build provides a sensible default when running make without arguments, improving the developer experience.


325-327: LGTM! Public build target provides clean interface.

The new build target provides a clean public interface that delegates to dev-build, following good Makefile practices for exposing user-facing targets.

CLAUDE.md (1)

1-331: LGTM! Comprehensive documentation for Claude Code integration.

The documentation provides excellent guidance for Claude Code with well-structured sections covering project overview, development workflows, architecture patterns, and testing strategies. This will significantly improve the AI-assisted development experience.

.claude/output-styles/docs.md (1)

44-71: Note: Indented code blocks are intentional for MkDocs Material.

The static analysis tool flags indented code blocks at lines 48, 56, and 71 as non-standard. However, this indentation is required by MkDocs Material's tabbed content syntax (=== "tab name"), which requires content to be indented under the tab marker. This is the correct format and should not be changed.

Is there a process where Claude drives the github commit cycle? Creates the branch, writes the commit messages, creates the PR, etc ???

I've only got a few days of experience with it, but it's been making commits using these styles for everything I've asked it to do. I have been using this plugin recommended by @gbrowdy https://github.com/obra/superpowers, so maybe it's specific to those skills?
