CLAUDE.md — AI-Assisted Development Guidelines

This file provides guidance for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) working on the crewAI codebase.

Dependency Management

Do NOT use override-dependencies (e.g. in pyproject.toml or similar) to resolve security audit or dependency issues.

This approach:

• Does not carry over to downstream projects that depend on crewAI
• Can cause dependency conflicts that are potentially unresolvable

Instead: Fix dependency issues by updating the actual dependency versions directly. Pin or bump the real dependency so the fix propagates correctly to all consumers.
