Best Practices

• Start from project root - Let Claude Code read project files for more accurate suggestions
• Use /help command - View all available slash commands and features
• Use /clear command - Clear context and start a new conversation (reduces token usage)
• Use @file references - Use @filename in conversations to quickly reference project files
• Back up important files - Claude Code can modify files directly; use Git for version control before operations
