CLAUDE.md is the single file that determines how useful Claude is on your project. Without it, Claude guesses at context on every session. With a good one, it shows up already knowing your stack, your constraints, and how you work. Most CLAUDE.md files I see are either empty or a wall of unstructured text. Neither works. The file needs structure, specific sections in a specific order, so Claude can retrieve the right context at the right moment. Fill in the brackets. Don't overthink it. A rough CLAUDE.md beats no CLAUDE.md by a wide margin.

# CLAUDE.md ## Project Overview

- Database: [e.g. Postgres via Supabase]
- Auth: [e.g. Supabase Auth]
- Deployment: [e.g. Vercel]
- Key dependencies: [list the non-obvious ones] ## Architecture Notes
[How the app is structured. Key directories and what lives in each. Any non-obvious patterns.] ## Conventions
- File naming: [e.g. kebab-case for files, PascalCase for components]

- API style: [e.g. REST, all routes in /app/api/]
- Error handling: [e.g. throw in server, toast in client]
- Testing: [e.g. Vitest for unit, Playwright for E2E] ## What Claude Should Never Do
- [List specific things you don't want Claude to change or touch]
- [e.g. Never modify the auth middleware]
- [e.g. Never use any, always use proper types] ## Current Focus
[What you're actively working on right now. Update this each session.] ## Known Issues / Constraints
[Active bugs, tech debt, or constraints Claude should know about.] ## Useful File Paths
- Entry point: [path]
- Config: [path]
- Database types: [path]
- Main components: [path]
Session Start Prompt: Update Focus Each Time
Before we start: read CLAUDE.md. The current focus section tells you what we're working on. Ask me one clarifying question if anything is ambiguous. Then we'll begin. [Paste this at the start of each session. It costs 2 seconds and saves 20 minutes of drift.]
