conventions-file.txt
I'm building <one sentence> with <stack>, deployed to <host>. Here's the
project as it stands: <paste the file list and one representative file>

Write a short conventions file for AI tools to read at the start of every
session, such as CLAUDE.md. Include:
- How to run it locally and how to deploy it to this host.
- The stack's conventions this project actually follows, taken from the
  code rather than from general advice.
- What's deliberately unusual here, and why.
- What must never happen: files not to edit, commands not to run.

Under 60 lines. Only things that can't be worked out from the code.

Every time you correct the model about the same thing twice, that correction belongs in this file.
