README
CLAUDE.md Template
A minimal `CLAUDE.md` for Claude Code, containing only rules that are not already default behavior.
Why it's short
Claude Code loads `CLAUDE.md` at the start of every session as override-priority instructions. Restating something Claude already does by default doesn't reinforce it — it competes with the rules that actually matter. [Anthropic's guidance](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/best-practices) is blunt about the result: *"Bloated CLAUDE.md files cause Claude to ignore your actual instructions."*
So every line passes one test:
**Would removing this cause Claude to make mistakes?** If not, cut it.
Rules that survive carry a checkable test next to them. Rules that only restate default behavior — *state your assumptions*, *implement only what was requested*, *match the existing style* — are left out on purpose.
Use it
Copy [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) into your project root and fill in **Project facts**. That section is the most valuable part and the only one a template can't write for you: build and test commands, environment quirks, and gotchas Claude can't infer from the code.
Run `/init` in Claude Code to draft those facts from your codebase, then prune what it guesses.
