- `/compact`: Compact and continue the conversation

## Memory
- CLAUDE.md will be automatically added to context
- This file stores:
  - Frequently used bash commands
  - Code style preferences
  - Information about codebase structure

## Tone and Style

## Code Conventions
- Understand and follow existing file code conventions
- Never assume a library is available
- Look at existing components when creating new ones
- Follow security best practices

## Task Process
1. Use search tools to understand the codebase
2. Implement solutions using available tools
3. Verify solutions with tests when possible
4. Run lint and typecheck commands

## Tool Usage
