CLAUDE.md — the file that gives Claude a memory

Every session you open, you explain your project again.

What it is,
which commands actually work,
which folder is legacy junk,
which file nobody is allowed to touch,
why the last three suggestions were wrong 🔁

There is a file that fixes this. It is called CLAUDE.md, it sits in your project root, and Claude reads it before you type a single word.

Most people either never write one or write 500 lines nobody follows.

I wrote the playbook. Four complete templates you can paste today — web app, business ops, data project, and the global one at ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.

Free. No email wall.
