Claude Code CLAUDE.md: the one file that makes your AI sessions 10x more consistent

Claude Code CLAUDE.md: the one file that makes your AI sessions 10x consistent If you've been using Claude Code for than a week, you've noticed the inconsistency problem. Monday: Claude remembers your project structure, follows your coding conventions, knows you prefer TypeScript strict mode. Friday: Same project, new session. Proposes a pattern you explicitly banned. Forgets your testing framework. The problem isn't Claude's memory. It's that you're not giving it one. What CLAUDE.md actually is CLAUDE.md is a markdown file you place at the root of your project.
