06/25 Question of the Day

A Developer Productivity team's CLAUDE.md becomes hard to maintain because rules from departed engineers are unclear in intent. Which practice would BEST prevent future maintenance pain?

A. Remove all rules every six months and re-add only what is still defensible

B. Require every single rule to carry a 300-word written justification so that the reasoning behind each one is always fully documented in the file

C. Add a brief rationale comment next to each non-obvious rule so future maintainers know why it exists

D. Move all of the rules into each engineer's user-level CLAUDE.md so that maintaining and clarifying them becomes each individual person's own responsibility
