You are using Claude Code to accelerate software development. Your team uses it for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and documentation. You need to integrate it into your development workflow with custom slash commands, CLAUDE.md configurations, and understand when to use plan mode vs. direct execution.
You need to add a date validation check ensuring event dates are in the future. This requires adding a conditional statement to one existing function in a single file. What is the most appropriate approach?

• A. Use direct execution to make the change.
• B. Enter plan mode first to create a detailed implementation strategy before making the change.
• C. Enter plan mode to analyze how the validation might impact other parts of the reservation flow.
• D. Start with extended thinking mode enabled to ensure thorough reasoning about the validation logic.

Your team's CLAUDE.md includes a rule: "Use 4-space indentation and always run Prettier formatting." Despite this, code reviews reveal that roughly 30% of files Claude Code generates use inconsistent formatting - sometimes 2-space indentation, sometimes missing trailing commas. Adding emphasis ("IMPORTANT: You MUST use Prettier formatting") reduces violations to about 15%, but doesn't eliminate them. What is the most effective way to ensure all generated code is consistently formatted?

• A. Extract the formatting rules into a dedicated skill that Claude loads automatically when generating code, with more detailed examples of correct formatting.
• B. Add a Stop hook with a prompt-based check that evaluates whether generated code follows formatting standards and prompts Claude to fix violations.
• C. Configure a PostToolUse hook with an Edit|Write matcher that automatically runs Prettier on each file Claude modifies.
• D. Split the formatting rules into path-scoped .claude/rules/files that load when Claude works on matching file types.

Your team has three requirements for Claude Code's behavior in your project
1. Claude must never modify files in the db/migrations/ directory
2. Claude should prefer your custom logging module over console.log
3. All TypeScript files must be auto-formatted with Prettier after
every edit
All three are currently written as instructions in your project's CLAUDE.md. During a complex refactoring session, a developer discovers that Claude edited a migration file, violating requirement #1. How should you restructure these requirements across Claude Code's configuration mechanisms?

• A. Rewrite all three requirements in CLAUDE.md using stronger directive language and add few- shot examples that demonstrate Claude refusing to edit migration files and running Prettier after edits.
• B. Move all three requirements into .claude/rules/ as path-scoped rules: one targeting db/migrations/** that forbids editing those files, and others targeting **/*.ts for the logging convention and formatting instruction.
• C. Configure hooks for all three: a PreToolUse hook script that blocks Edit calls targeting db/migrations/,a PreToolUse hook script that adds logging convention context before edits, and a PostToolUse hook that runs Prettier after TypeScript edits.
• D. Add Edit(./db/migrations/**) to permissions.deny in the project settings, keep the logging preference in CLAUDE.md, and add a PostToolUse hook on the Edit tool that runs Prettier on changed TypeScript files.

An organization wants predictable outputs for automated invoice classification. Which API parameter should generally be LOWER?

• A. Max tokens
• B. Temperature
• C. Context window
• D. Prompt length

Production logs show that when the agent handles complex billing disputes requiring 6+ tool calls, it sometimes exhausts its max_turns limit after gathering data but before completing resolution or escalating. The team's goal is to guarantee that every customer interaction ends with either a completed resolution or a human handoff, regardless of how the agent loop terminates. Which approach achieves this guarantee?

• A. Add system prompt instructions telling the agent to call escalate_to_human with a summary of its findings whenever it determines it cannot complete resolution within its remaining actions.
• B. Add orchestration-layer code that checks the agent's outcome after each loop termination - if the loop ended without a completed resolution or escalation, programmatically call escalate_to_human with the accumulated conversation context and tool results.
• C. Split the workflow into two sequential agent invocations - a first agent gathers information via get_customer and lookup_order, then a second agent receives that data and handles process_refund or escalate_to_human, each with separate turn budgets.
• D. Implement a pre-tool-use hook that counts tool invocations and terminates the loop with an automatic escalation once the agent reaches 80% of its max_turns limit.
