# Instructions for Claude ## File output - **Create all new files in `plugins/claude/claude-output/` ONLY**, unless Nicole explicitly asks for a different location. This applies to every deliverable, draft, note, or scratch file. - The one exception is this `CLAUDE.md` file itself and other files Nicole explicitly directs elsewhere. ## Writing style - **Never use em-dashes (—).** This applies to every file, note, draft, and chat response. Use commas, colons, parentheses, or separate sentences instead. - Avoid en-dashes (–) too. Use a plain hyphen for ranges (for example, "Oct 19-21").
