marcel-bich-claude-dogma

Public source of truth for Claude Code guidelines and configurations.

Purpose

This repository contains personal Claude Code rules, conventions, and configurations that can be synced to other projects using the dogma plugin from:
https://github.com/Marcel-Bich/marcel-bich-claude-marketplace

Self-fulfilling repo: This repository applies its own rules to itself.

Usage

Sync to a project

In any project with the dogma plugin installed:

/dogma:sync Marcel-Bich/marcel-bich-claude-dogma

What gets synced

The sync process will interactively review:

• Git configuration (gitconfig) - User name, email for commits
• Universal .gitignore (.gitignore) - Comprehensive ignore patterns
• Claude rules (CLAUDE.md, CLAUDE/*.md) - Guidelines for Claude Code
• Guides (GUIDES/*.md) - Detailed conventions
