Guide for writing and optimizing CLAUDE.md files for maximum Claude Code performance. Use when creating new CLAUDE.md, reviewing existing ones, or when user asks about CLAUDE.md best practices. Covers structure, content, pruning, and common mistakes.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Write CLAUDE.md files that maximize Claude's adherence and performance.
Long CLAUDE.md = Claude ignores half of it. Critical rules get lost in noise. For each line ask: "Would removing this cause Claude to make mistakes?" If no โ delete it If Claude already does it correctly โ delete it or convert to hook
SectionExampleProject context"Next.js e-commerce app with Stripe" (1 line)Build/test commandsnpm run test, pnpm buildCritical gotchas"Never modify auth.ts directly"Non-obvious conventions"Use vi for state, not useState"Domain terminology"PO = Purchase Order, not Product Owner"
Branch naming (if not feature/, fix/) Commit format (if not conventional commits) File boundaries (sensitive files to avoid)
Things Claude already knows (general coding practices) Obvious patterns (detectable from existing code) Lengthy explanations (be terse) Aspirational rules (only real problems you've hit)
Bullet points over paragraphs Markdown headings to separate modules (prevents instruction bleed) Specific over vague: "2-space indent" not "format properly" IMPORTANT/YOU MUST for critical rules (use sparingly or loses effect)
LocationScope~/.claude/CLAUDE.mdAll sessions (user prefs)./CLAUDE.mdProject root (share via git)./subdir/CLAUDE.mdLoaded when working in subdir.claude/rules/*.mdAuto-loaded as project memory
Before finalizing: Under 50 lines? (ideal target) Every line solves a real problem you've encountered? No redundancy with other CLAUDE.md locations? No instructions Claude follows by default? Tested by observing if Claude's behavior changes?
Run /init as starting point, then prune aggressively Every few weeks: "Review this CLAUDE.md and suggest removals" When Claude misbehaves: add specific rule When Claude ignores rules: file too long, prune other content
