+# Cargo Check Post-Edit Hook Configuration
+
+## File
+`rust/.claude/settings.json`
+
+## Purpose
+Runs `cargo check --message-format=short` automatically after any Edit or Write to `.rs` files during a Claude Code session. Provides fast feedback without waiting for a manual build.
+
+## Why cargo check (not clippy)
+- `cargo clippy` is too slow for every single edit (takes several seconds)
+- `cargo check` is faster — catches type errors and borrow checker issues quickly
+- Clippy should be run manually at logical checkpoints:
+  - Before commits
+  - After finishing a feature
+  - After batch edits to multiple files
+
+## Settings JSON Structure
