CLAUDE.md: Make AI Truly Understand Your Project
One file to permanently store your project specs, architecture decisions, and team conventions — Claude reads it at every session start
What is CLAUDE.md?
CLAUDE.md is a special file in your project root that Claude Code reads automatically at startup. It's a 'project briefing' for AI — containing tech stack, code conventions, directory structure, and key commands, so Claude understands your context without repeated explanations.

Eliminate Repetition
No more explaining 'we use TypeScript' or 'tests run with Jest' every session — write once, effective forever
Consistent Output
Define coding style, naming conventions, and architecture constraints to ensure Claude's output always matches project standards
Team Knowledge Sharing
When new members join, CLAUDE.md serves as both AI configuration and a human-readable project onboarding guide
