Task 6: Write usage decision framework

Plan: usage-guidelines Status: DONE Deliverable: New section in CLAUDE.md

What to do

  1. Write a concise decision framework (checklist or flowchart) for deciding whether a task justifies an LLM conversation. Criteria:

    • Could a simpler tool do this? (grep, man page, stack overflow)
    • Does this require generation or transformation beyond templates?
    • What is the expected reach of the output?
    • Is the task well-defined with clear success criteria?
  2. Add it to CLAUDE.md as a quick-reference section, probably under sub-goal 1 or as a new sub-goal.

  3. Keep it under 20 lines — it needs to be scannable, not an essay.

Done when

  • CLAUDE.md contains a practical checklist that can be evaluated in 10 seconds before starting a conversation.
