CLAUDE.md Quick Start: 10 Rules Every New Project Needs If you just discovered CLAUDE.md, here's the short version: it's a file Claude Code reads on every session. Whatever you put in it becomes persistent project context - no re-explaining your stack, conventions, or constraints every time you open a new chat. The problem is that most CLAUDE.md files start as a vague wishlist. "Write clean code." "Follow best practices." "Be careful." Those rules do nothing - Claude already tries to do all of that.
