Core rules auto-loaded from ~/.claude/rules/cco-rules.md at every session start.
Source: rules/cco-rules.md — single source of truth. Installed to ~/.claude/rules/cco-rules.md by the installer.
Claude Code automatically reads all .md files in ~/.claude/rules/ at session start. CCO rules are loaded into context and active for the entire session. No manual activation needed.
| Category | Contents |
|---|---|
| Failure Prevention | 3 prohibitions (Scope Boundary, Test Integrity, Cross-file Consistency) + 5 process gates (Change Verification, Migration Sweep, Trust Verification, Format Preservation, Artifact-First Recovery) |
| Process Framework | 5 checkpoints: before starting, while working, before finishing, on uncertainty, on scope expansion |
| Quality Thresholds | Complexity Limits (CC≤15, Method≤50, File≤500, Nesting≤3, Params≤4), Output & Edit Standards, Error Handling, i18n Stack Reference |
| CCO Operations | Accounting, Auto Mode, Agent Contract, Tool Prerequisites, Confidence Scoring, Skip Patterns, Plan Review Protocol, Needs-Approval Protocol, Parallel Execution, Severity Levels, Model Routing, CRITICAL Escalation, Fix Quality, Project Types |
