ONBOARDING FOR CODING AGENTS
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
When using coding agents like Claude Code, you should shift context from tool-specific files like `CLAUDE.md` to universal `README.md` files organized by domain for better onboarding. Code quality should be enforced through "Quality Gates," defined as environment constraints using tools like linters and type checkers. This approach allows AI coding agents to iterate and improve code until all checks pass.
