Why CLAUDE.md Matters

  
It's read automatically at the start of every session in that project — the difference between re-explaining conventions every time and having them already understood. See CLAUDE.md best practices for what actually belongs in it, and why one file per client project beats one giant global file.






  
Frequently Asked Questions

  
Do I still need to edit the generated file?
Yes — this gives a real, structured starting point based on your project type, not a finished file. Add the specifics only you know: naming conventions, files to never touch, business rules that aren't obvious from the code.

  
Where do I put the CLAUDE.md file?
In your project's root directory. Claude Code reads it automatically at the start of a session in that project.

  
Should every project have its own CLAUDE.md?
Yes — one file per project beats one giant global file, since each project's conventions and constraints are usually different, especially across client work.
