.dev — developer-local links into this project's AI-tooling state

Symlinks to the state that AI tooling reads and writes for this repo only — no global/all-projects state is linked here. Same convention as log-watcher/.dev: user-specific absolute paths, gitignored (only this README is committed). Each developer recreates them for their own machine (commands below).

Link Points at What a developer uses it for
claude-project/ ~/.claude/projects/<this-repo, slashes→dashes> Claude Code's per-project state: session transcripts (*.jsonl) and memory/ (the persistent memory index + facts). Grep a past session, read/curate what Claude remembers about this repo.

references/ holds read-only symlinks to source trees under ~/projects/ used as study material for the compiler/runtime work (same idea as the reference/{linux,go} links at the repo root):

Link Points at Why it's a reference
references/llvm-project/ ~/projects/llvm-project (shallow clone) Compiler-architecture study for the OCaml woc compiler: pass pipelines (llvm/lib/Passes/), IR design (llvm/docs/LangRef.md), Clang's lexer/parser/sema layering (clang/lib/{Lex,Parse,Sema}/), diagnostics machinery (clang/include/clang/Basic/Diagnostic*.td). Study-only — writeonce does NOT link against LLVM (zero-dep doctrine; woc emits .wob bytecode, no LLVM backend).

Deliberately not linked (global, cross-project state): ~/.claude (all projects' transcripts, credentials), ~/.config/opencode and ~/.local/share/opencode (global config; sessions for every project; auth.json tokens), ~/.cache/llama.cpp (shared model weights), the llama.cpp checkout's llama-server.log (lives with that checkout — tail -f it there when running prototypes/llama-moe-stream/start-local-agents.sh).

Related, already at the repo root: project-level agent definitions go in .opencode/agents/*.md (opencode) and .claude/agents/*.md (Claude Code) — those are committed when they should be shared with the team, unlike these links.

Recreate on a new machine

cd .dev
ln -sfn "$HOME/.claude/projects/$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel | tr / -)" claude-project
mkdir -p references
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git ~/projects/llvm-project
ln -sfn "$HOME/projects/llvm-project"  references/llvm-project

(claude-project: Claude Code names the directory after the repo's absolute path with / replaced by -, hence the git rev-parse | tr trick.)

Privacy

This link points into private state: full conversation transcripts and Claude's memory for this repo. It is gitignored so none of it can be committed — keep it that way, and don't bulk-feed the directory to tools that upload content.
