 This codebase includes a custom `CLAUDE.md` template that configures Claude as an autonomous task executor. Located at `/templates/.claude/CLAUDE.md`, this file provides detailed instructions for how Claude should behave when executing tasks.
 
-**Default Usage:** The claude-docker agent expects a detailed `plan.md` file in your project root containing task specifications. Claude will read this plan and execute it as faithfully as possible, documenting progress in `task_log.md`.
+**Default Design:** The claude-docker agent expects a detailed `plan.md` file in your project root containing task specifications and which conda env to use. Claude will read this plan and execute it as faithfully as possible, documenting progress in `task_log.md`, send a text on completion if you set up your twilio credentials (optional). Simply tell it to make sure it has read the user scope claude md file and to execute. 
 
 ## What This Does
-
-- Runs Claude Code in an isolated Docker container with full autonomy
-- Integrates Twilio MCP for SMS notifications when tasks complete
-- Provides persistent context across sessions
-- Auto-configures Claude settings for seamless operation
-- Simple one-command setup and usage
