Layered CLAUDE.md Files Provide Contextual AI Guidance

I think the top tip I've picked up since I started using Claude Code: write a CLAUDE [dot] md at every level of your file structure and be intelligent about how you nest folders. Claude Code automatically loads the Claudemd file from every directory level above whatever file you're working on. So if you organize it intelligently, it always has the right context at the right time. Say you're running a business and doing some marketing work. You might have: - A general CLAUDEmd on your computer — how you like Claude to work, voice, tools you have wired up - A vault CLAUDEmd — how your files are organized - A folder for your business with a CLAUDEmd — what the business does, who the clients are, how you price, etc. - A folder for marketing inside the business with a CLAUDEmd — channels you run, what's working, brand voice, etc. - The specific marketing project with its own CLAUDEmd When you open anything in the marketing project folder, Claude Code walks up the tree and pulls all five into context automatically. Global → vault → business → marketing → project. That means the very first message in a chat about that marketing project is going to be like talking to someone that knows you, your business, your marketing history, etc. You need to keep the CLAUDEmd at each level current for this to work I have a "wrap" skill that I run at the end of every chat session. It updates the relevant CLAUDEmd(s) and makes a more detailed entry into a workbench file for whatever I was working on. So if I make a decision about a project or learn something about a client, that context lives in the right file by the time I close the session. Next time I come back, Claude already has it.
