+# Claude Code Instructions
+
+## SESSION CONTEXT - MANDATORY
+
+**After every 3rd response, update `docs/session-context.org`.**
+
+This is non-negotiable. Count your responses: 1, 2, 3 → UPDATE FILE.
+
+The file must contain:
+- Current task/goal
+- Key decisions made
+- Files modified
+- Next steps
+- Any context needed to resume if session crashes
+
+If the file exists at session start, the previous session was interrupted - read it first.
+
+## Project Documentation
+
+Read these files at session start:
+1. `docs/protocols.org` - Behavioral protocols and conventions
+2. `docs/NOTES.org` - Project-specific context and history
+
+## Key Rules
+
+- **Commits**: No Claude/Anthropic attribution. Commit as Craig.
+- **Files**: Use `.org` format, hyphens in filenames (no spaces)
+- **Wrap-up phrases**: "wrap it up", "that's a wrap" → Execute wrap-up workflow
