Every session paid ~4 000 tokens for CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules/, and part of
that content no longer described this repository:
CLAUDE.md and 05-environments.md gave .venv.odoo18/bin/python — a path that
does not exist. The real one carries BOTH versions,
.venv.odoo18.0_python3.12.10. 02-project-structure.md announced addons/ and
odoo12.0/, absent from the checkout.
That is the reason for the cuts, more than the token count: the files drifted
from the repository, while « ls » cannot. What a session can rebuild by
reading the code is now left to the code.
02-project-structure.md deleted — a tree that ls gives, and gives right
05-environments.md deleted — a venv list that was simply false
04-code-conventions.md reduced to a pointer at .flake8, .editorconfig and
pyproject.toml, which already hold every value it
repeated, plus the Git conventions, which they
do not
01-versions.md table dropped for the pointer at
conf/supported_version_erplibre.json, whose keys
already pair Odoo with Python
Two blocks move to lazy loading — their body costs nothing until invoked:
03-commands.md -> skill erplibre-commands (kept whole: there is no
« make help » target, and the per-module test recipes
carry flags nobody would guess)
07-documentation.md -> skill erplibre-doc-i18n for the how-to, while the
prohibition « never edit a generated .md » STAYS in
the rules: a rule that must hold at all times cannot
live in a file loaded on demand
Resident guidance: ~3 997 -> ~1 939 est. tokens per session.
