+## IMPORTANT: Check Project Setup First
+
+Before running ANY commands in a new worktree, check the project's setup instructions:
+
+1. **Read the README** - Usually has install/build commands
+2. **Check `claude.md` or `AGENT.md`** - Agent-specific guidance if present
+3. **Review your `project` memory block** - Contains learned project preferences
+
+Don't assume `npm` vs `bun` vs `pnpm` - **check the project first!**

 ## Tips
 
+- **Check project setup docs before installing** - README, claude.md, project memory block
 - Name directories clearly: `../repo-feature-auth`, `../repo-bugfix-123`
-- Install dependencies in new worktrees (`npm install`, `bun install`, `pip install`, etc.)
+- Install dependencies using the project's package manager (check first!)
 - Push changes before removing worktrees
