AI agents should be able to use mcpc without any external skills or documentation - help output and error messages must provide all needed context for discovery and recovery.

Summary
Updated the CLAUDE.md design principles to explicitly require that AI agents must be able to use mcpc independently, with all necessary context provided through
--helpoutput and error messages.Changes
--helpoutput and error messages must provide sufficient context for agents to discover commands, understand arguments, and recover from mistakesRationale
This principle ensures that mcpc is designed with AI agent usability as a first-class concern, making the tool accessible to autonomous agents without requiring additional documentation or custom prompts. This aligns with the existing principle of avoiding unexpected user interactions and promotes self-service discoverability.
