Create CLAUDE.md
Create CLAUDE.md as the agent's table of contents — a brief map
pointing to deeper sources of truth in docs/. Agents start here,
then load only what they need (progressive disclosure).
Philosophy: CLAUDE.md is a map, not an encyclopedia. A monolithic instruction file crowds out the task and rots instantly. Keep it short; point to deeper docs.
When to Use
- The project has no
CLAUDE.mdand you're about to run a swarm or any agent workflow. - User asks to "create CLAUDE.md", "set up this repo for agents", or "bootstrap agent context".
- The project has an existing CLAUDE.md that is overly long or monolithic and needs restructuring.
