feat(docs): Add mandatory 'What's Next' suggestions rule to CLAUDE.md
## What Changed Added requirement that every response must end with 5 suggestions for next steps, ordered from reasonable to radical. ## Why This Matters Forces strategic thinking about project direction after each task completion. Prevents tunnel vision by explicitly exploring different risk/reward profiles. ## The 5-Level Spectrum 1. REASONABLE - Safe, obvious next step 2. PRAGMATIC - Practical, good ROI 3. INSIGHTFUL - Non-obvious, high leverage 4. UNHINGED - Unconventional, breaks norms 5. RADICAL - Extreme rethink, questions fundamentals Each suggestion includes: - Clear action items (not vague ideas) - Realistic impact assessment - Honest timeline (with learning curve) - Strategic rationale 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

52+
- **REASONABLE**: Safe, obvious next step. Low risk, moderate reward.
53+
- **PRAGMATIC**: Practical but requires some effort. Good ROI, well-tested approach.
54+
- **INSIGHTFUL**: Non-obvious but high-leverage. Requires deep thinking, big potential.
55+
- **UNHINGED**: Unconventional, risky, but could be game-changing. Breaks norms.
56+
- **RADICAL**: Extreme rethink. Questions fundamental assumptions. Maximum disruption potential.
57+
58+
**Each suggestion must have:**
59+
- Clear action items (not vague ideas)
60+
- Realistic impact assessment (don't oversell)
61+
- Honest timeline (include learning curve)
62+
- Strategic rationale (why this matters)
