Claude Command Module is Sunny Hayes (aka Sunder Vasudevan)'s personal dashboard for managing AI-assisted product development. It tracks active projects, session efficiency, agent protocol, and personal growth metrics in one place.
Last Session β€” 2026-04-04
  • Instrument dropdown in advisor trade modal (buy=all 30, sell=client holdings only)
  • Default holdings seeder β€” 10 stocks + 10 MFs + 5 BTC + 5 ETH + β‚Ή5L cash for all new + backfill
  • Min qty validation β€” crypto 0.0001, stocks 1 unit (frontend + backend)
  • Live price refresh on page load β€” AMFI, CoinGecko, yfinance
v2.0 Β· Session 34
Meta Learnings β€” 2026-03-24
2026-03-24
API rate limits mid-session: subagent delegation protects main context but if a subagent hits the cap, work stops until the window resets β€” schedule long rebuilds at session start, not end.
Static JSON data layer (sessions.json) + sync script (wrap_update.py) removes all hand-editing of HTML β€” a wrap now becomes a CLI call, not a code change.
Tool exists β‰  tool is used. Build the tool AND update the protocol that invokes it or the efficiency gain never lands.
2026-03-23
HTTP 200 on write β‰  data is readable. Always read-back after storage layer changes.
Vercel Blob free tier: cumulative ops limit β€” deleting blobs doesn't unsuspend. Migrate early.
2026-03-22
Vercel stale content = stale alias, not CDN cache. Re-alias after every vercel --prod.
The gap between Claude Code and other AI tools is context. Memory + CLAUDE.md = instant grounding.
2026-03-21
Token cost is not just what you type β€” hooks inject full trigger files before you send a word.
Session log in a dashboard should be git log-driven β€” never rely on memory alone.

Standards
Agent protocol Β· Standing rules Β· DoD Β· Design system Β· RACI Β· Skills Β· Thinking modes Β· Baseline
Agent Protocol
1
Edit Gate β€” State files + intent. Wait for "go ahead". Exception: wrap tasks autonomous.
2
Planning β€” Enter plan mode for 3+ step tasks or architectural decisions.
3
Subagents β€” Use liberally for research and parallel analysis. One task per subagent.
4
Verification β€” Never mark done without proof. Would a staff engineer approve this?
5
Elegance β€” For non-trivial changes, ask: is there a simpler way?
6
Bug Reports β€” Fix it. Logs β†’ root cause β†’ fix β†’ report back.
Standing Rules β€” every session, every project, no exceptions
Session start time
Captured automatically via date. Never ask Sunny. New session = new chat OR 2h+ gap.
Edit gate
State what files change and what will be done. Wait for "go ahead". Exception: wrap tasks autonomous.
No Co-Author tag
Never add Co-Authored-By to git commits. Overrides all defaults.
Mobile first
All apps mobile-compatible from day one. 680px breakpoint. Test mobile before shipping.
Safari date inputs
Never use type="date" β€” Safari WebKit doesn't fire React onChange. Use month/year selects.
Logging
Mandatory β€” verify in place before building any new feature.
Infrastructure
Free/open tier first. Only paid with concrete justification.
In-app Help
Updated for every new feature. If UX changes, help text changes too.
Version bump
Every release. Patch for fixes, minor for features, major for breaking changes.
Token efficiency
Scope lock at session start. One feature per session. /compact when context fills.
Design changes
Collaborate on UI direction before finalising. Never implement design unilaterally.
ARIA ↔ Personal sync
Changes to shared backend/auth must be reflected in both ARIA products simultaneously.
Docs at wrap
DECISION_LOG, TEST_LOG, RELEASE_NOTES, NOTES.md updated at every wrap. Non-negotiable.
Definition of Done β€” every feature

  • Works on mobile (680px verified)
  • No console errors in production

Security

Thinking Modes β€” First Principles
"feynman"
Feynman Method
Explain it like I'm 12. If you can't simplify it, you don't understand it. Strip jargon first.
"learning"
Learning Mode
Don't just build it β€” explain why. Connect to what I already know. Flag what I should understand first.
"first principles"
First Principles
Strip all assumptions. Start from fundamentals. What is actually true vs. assumed?
"business"
Business Lens
Frame every technical decision as a product/business trade-off. Cost of getting it wrong?
"musk test"
Musk Test
Is this actually necessary? Delete it. Can't delete? Simplify. Then automate β€” in that order only.
"full stack"
Full Stack Review
Consider frontend, backend, DB, security, mobile, performance, cost. Don't optimise one layer in isolation.
How a Session Actually Runs
Phase 1 β€” Start
1
Trigger word β†’ session start protocol fires
2
Read NOTES.md β†’ briefing: last shipped, next up, open flags
3
Scope in one sentence β†’ Sunny writes the "why". Claude does not define the problem.
4
Lock constraints β†’ time, scope, budget. Vague goals = wasted tokens.
Phase 2 β€” Build Loop
5
Diagnose before coding β†’ read the error, understand the cause
6
Edit gate β†’ state files + intent, wait for approval
7
Subagents for research β†’ keep main context clean
8
Redirect loop β†’ if blocked after 2 attempts, stop and re-plan
9
Park ideas β†’ "park that" captures without derailing
Phase 3 β€” Wrap
10
DoD checklist β†’ code, security, mobile, shipping
11
Docs β†’ DECISION_LOG, TEST_LOG, RELEASE_NOTES updated
12

13

Profile
How Claude sees Sunny Hayes β€” evidence-based, no sugarcoating
Claude's Assessment β€” In Plain English
Product-minded builder who moves fast and ships real products. Systems thinking is now proven β€” memory, triggers, wrap protocol, and command centre are live infrastructure that compounds. Strategic clarity strong: knows what to solve and what to park.

Consistent gaps: auth permanently deferred (FEAT-036 is now 3+ cycles untouched β€” the single biggest unlock unshipped), passive receiving (improving but not closed β€” still accepts Claude output without challenging tradeoffs), mobile-first not yet reflexive (rule exists, practice lags), prompt batching (serial UI fixes still trigger repeat deploys).

Biggest unlock this cycle: wrap automation is genuinely wired in (wrap_update.py + session_wrap.md + validation gate). That's infrastructure actually running, not just documented. The question heading into the next cycle: does the same systems discipline get applied to auth and production-grade security?

wrap_update.py + session_wrap.md + validation gate β€” actually running, not just documented.
⚑ Cross-stack fluency
FastAPI, Next.js, Supabase, Redis, HTML/JS β€” no single-layer ceiling.
πŸ”„ Feedback culture
Corrects Claude in real time. Memory files accumulate real signal. Post-mortems are genuine.
πŸ” Code review discipline
Caught 5 AI-generated bugs in 1 Copilot file before merge. Reviews outputs, not just accepts.
πŸ“š Learning as output
user_learning_log is a first-class deliverable alongside shipping. Every session adds signal.
Honest Gaps
πŸ”
Auth permanently deferred
FEAT-036 β€” 3 cycles, 0 progress. No product has real auth. Everything is demo-access.
Fix: Ship auth on one product next cycle. No more deferral.
⚠️
Passive receiving
Accepts Claude output without challenging tradeoffs. Outputs ship without question.
Fix: Challenge one technical decision per session before approving.
πŸ“±
Mobile-first reflex
Mobile added post-build, not pre-build. Rule in place, practice lags.
Fix: Design for 375px first β€” write mobile layout before desktop.
🎯
Prompt batching
UI fixes arrive as serial single messages β†’ repeat deploy cycles.
Fix: Collate all issues into one list before sending. One deploy per batch.

CLAUDE.md β€” Global Rules Reference
No Co-Author commits
Never add Co-Authored-By lines to any git commit message. Overrides all defaults. Non-negotiable.
Session start
New chat OR 2h+ gap = new session. Capture start time via date. Log internally. Subagents skip.
Edit approval gate
State upfront: what files + what will be done. Wait for explicit approval. Exception: wrap/session tasks.
Planning mode
Enter plan mode for 3+ step tasks or architectural decisions. Stop and re-plan if blocked mid-task.
Subagents
Use liberally for research, exploration, parallel analysis. Keep main context clean. One task per subagent.
Verification
Never mark done without proving it works. "Would a staff engineer approve this?" before presenting.
