This 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗘.𝗺𝗱 file will make you 10x engineer 👇

It combines all the best practices shared by Claude Code creator:

Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code at Anthropic) shared on X internal best practices and workflows he and his team actually use with Claude Code daily. Someone turned those threads into a structured 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗘.𝗺𝗱 you can drop into any project.

It includes:
• Workflow orchestration
• Subagent strategy
• Self-improvement loop
• Verification before done
• Autonomous bug fixing
• Core principles

This is a compounding system. Every correction you make gets captured as a rule. Over time, Claude's mistake rate drops because it learns from your feedback.

If you build with AI daily, this will save you a lot of time.

We just open-sourced MetricX-24, our SOTA automatic metric for MT with clear improvements over MetricX-23.

One of the highlight is is language coverage and how well it performs even for language pairs it was not fine-tuned for!
