Claude Code Setup — Paper Practice Kit

A minimal academic Claude Code setup for the workshop practice, adapted from Pedro Sant’Anna’s public workflow (https://psantanna.com/claude-code-my-workflow/). It gives you three things you will use across the three practice sessions:

Piece	What it is	Used in
CLAUDE.md	Project memory — reading order, faithfulness rule, where outputs go	A, B, C
rules/faithfulness.md	The non-negotiable: never invent a number; cite a table	A, B, C
rules/slides.md	House Beamer style (zen theme) for any deck you build	B
skills/paper-to-slides/	A skill that turns a paper into a faithful talk deck	B
agents/referee.md	A subagent that writes a fair referee report	B

Install (2 minutes)

From your project folder (the one that holds the paper), copy this kit into a .claude/ directory so Claude Code loads it automatically:

mkdir -p .claude
cp claude-setup/CLAUDE.md        ./CLAUDE.md
cp -r claude-setup/rules          .claude/rules
cp -r claude-setup/skills         .claude/skills
cp -r claude-setup/agents         .claude/agents

Then start Claude Code in that folder:

claude

Check it loaded:

> /memory        # should show CLAUDE.md
> /agents        # should list: referee

The paper and your outputs

• RCT_paper.md is handed out in class — it is an unpublished manuscript and is not in this repository. Read the .md, not the raw .docx.
• Build your work in my_slides/ and my_wiki/. The instructor’s finished versions are shown in the room as the answer key.
• The kit ships zenbeamer.sty + assets/; copy them into my_slides/ before you compile a deck.

What each session does with it

• Practice A — install this kit, point Claude at RCT_paper.md, get a verified overview.
• Practice B — use the paper-to-slides skill and the referee subagent to build a talk deck and a referee deck.
• Practice C — reuse the same faithfulness rule to ingest the paper into an LLM Wiki.

RCT_paper.md is an unpublished manuscript — classroom use only. Never quote its numbers outside class.
