# Plan: Remove Redundancy + Add No-Redundancy Rule

## Identified Redundancies

| Item | CLAUDE.md | system-instructions.json | Action |
|------|-----------|--------------------------|--------|
| Conventions | Lines 63-67 | Lines 55-59 | Remove from JSON (CLAUDE.md is human reference) |
| State file writers | Lines 23-29 table | Lines 37-42 | Keep both - different purposes (table vs structured) |
| Key Processes | Lines 31-47 | Lines 5-34 | OK - CLAUDE.md is summary, JSON is canonical |

## Changes Required

### 1. Remove `conventions` from `system-instructions.json`

Already documented in CLAUDE.md - no need to duplicate.

### 2. Add no-redundancy principle to `CLAUDE.md`

Add to Conventions section:
```
- **No duplication**: Information lives in one place. CLAUDE.md = overview, JSON = details
```

### 3. Add to `system-instructions.json`

Add principle:
```json
"content-principles": {
  "no-redundancy": "Information lives in one authoritative location",
  "lean-files": "Keep files concise - no verbose examples or unnecessary prose"
}
```

## Files to Modify

| File | Action |
|------|--------|
| `~/.claude/state/system-instructions.json` | Remove conventions, add content-principles |
| `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` | Add no-duplication rule to conventions |
