 - **Performance Optimization**: Real-world performance tuning and benchmarking
 - **Production Operations**: Deployment strategies and operational procedures
 
-**Development Artifacts:**
-
-- `.claude/CLAUDE.md` - Instructions for Claude Code when working on this codebase
-- `HIVE_DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md` - Comprehensive roadmap and implementation strategy
-- Component-specific guidance in `viperblock/CLAUDE.md` and `predastore/CLAUDE.md`
