Anthropic removed ~80% of Claude Code's system prompt for Claude 5, and the internet decided that means delete your CLAUDE.md. Don't. Here's the four-bucket diet that took mine from 1,204 lines to 151 without losing a single incident-earned warning.
WoterClip v0.3.0: Claude Code subagents run every persona
