# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## Project Status

This is a greenfield project in early discovery/design phase. No source code exists yet. The project aims to automate financial and operational management for a small sports club.

See `docs/project-notes.md` for the current brainstorming state, domain model, and open questions that need answering before implementation begins.

## Key Constraints

- **PII separation**: Member data (names, emails, payment info) must never be committed to git. Enforce config/data separation from day one.
- **Incremental approach**: Start with highest-ROI automation (likely fee billing & payment tracking), not a full platform.

## Development Workflow

This project uses a hybrid workflow:
- Claude.ai chat for brainstorming and design exploration
- Claude Code for implementation

## When Code Exists

Once a tech stack is chosen and implementation begins, update this file with:
- Build, test, and lint commands
- Architecture overview
- Development setup instructions

## Git Commits

When making git commits, always append yourself as co-author trailer to the end of the commit message to indicate AI assistance
