D3 Claude Code Configuration & Workflows · Paper 5

[Scenario: Code Generation with Claude Code] You find that including 2–3 full endpoint implementation examples as context significantly improves consistency when generating new API endpoints. However, this context is useful only when creating new endpoints—not when debugging, reviewing code, or other work in the API directory. Which configuration approach is most effective?

• A.Add endpoint examples and pattern documentation to the project CLAUDE.md so they are always available.
• B.Manually reference endpoint examples in every generation request by copying code into the prompt.
• C.Configure path-specific rules in `.claude/rules/api/` that include endpoint examples and activate when working in the API directory.
• D.Create a skill that references the endpoint examples and contains pattern-following instructions, invoked on demand via a slash command.

Show answer & explanations

Correct answer: D

A: Examples in CLAUDE.md load while debugging and reviewing, which is the cost the team wants to avoid.

B: Pasting examples into each request depends on someone remembering. A skill is that step, on demand.

C: Path rules under the API directory load the examples for every API edit, including debugging and review.

D: A skill invoked on demand loads the example context only when generating new endpoints, not during unrelated tasks like debugging or review. This keeps the main context clean while preserving high-quality generation when needed.
