# CLAUDE.md

Repo-specific guidance for Claude Code working on `API::Docker`.

## The 12 Rules

These are the operating rules for this repo. They inherit from the global
and workspace `CLAUDE.md` — what's listed here is the authoritative set
for this distribution.

1. **Use `mcp__serper__google_search` or `mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_search`**
   over `WebSearch` for any web lookup.

2. **Use `mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_scrape`** over `WebFetch` for fetching
   page content.

3. **Use `context7` for library docs** (CPAN, npm, etc.) — *except* this
   distribution itself. For `API::Docker` always read the local source
   under `lib/`, never context7.

4. **Untracked files that are not in `.gitignore` belong in the commit.**
   `.gitignore` is the source of truth. Only obvious secrets
   (`.env`, credentials) are excluded — and even then warn, don't silently
   drop them.

5. **Auto-Memory is for personal/user preferences only.** Project
   conventions belong in this `CLAUDE.md` or in a skill, never in
   auto-memory.

6. **Load the `perl-core` skill before editing any Perl** in this
   workspace. It encodes Getty's house rules; the rules below are the
   TL;DR.

7. **`use Module;` to load modules.** Only use `require` when there's a
   real runtime reason (lazy plugin loading, optional deps), not just to
   defer cost.

8. **`->instance` for `MooX::Singleton` / `MooseX::Singleton` classes.**
   `->new` for everything else.

9. **Never copy `$VERSION` from a Getty-authored repo into a cpanfile.**
   The repo version is the *next* unreleased version. Check
   `cpanm --info` for the actual released version when pinning.

10. **Pin every Getty-authored dependency** to its latest released CPAN
    version in `cpanfile`.

11. **The version in `lib/API/Docker.pm` is the NEXT release.** What's
    currently on CPAN is the previous tag. `dzil release` bumps the
    version automatically — never bump it by hand before a release.

12. **`{{$NEXT}}` in `Changes` is the placeholder for the upcoming
    release.** Add entries under it as you change behavior; `dzil
    release` replaces it with the version + timestamp.

## What this distribution is

A pure-Perl client for the Docker Engine API. No LWP, no shell-outs —
HTTP/1.1 (incl. chunked) is spoken directly over the daemon's Unix
socket (default) or a TCP endpoint.

The synchronous `_request` core lives in
`API::Docker::Role::HTTP`; resource-specific API methods live in
`API::Docker::API::*`. Entity wrappers (`API::Docker::Container`,
`API::Docker::Image`, ...) hang off the resource APIs.
