Write a CLAUDE.md for your RNA-seq analysis setup

A researcher stopped re-explaining the pipeline, reference genome and DESeq2 parameters each session.

Prompt for your agent

Goal: Capture my analysis setup so I never re-explain it.
Setup: agents used in source: Claude; tools/MCPs stated: DESeq2.
Steps:
1. Write a CLAUDE.md with your pipeline, reference genome and analysis parameters (e.g. DESeq2).
2. Keep it updated as the analysis changes.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
