Init Deep Skill
Create a minimal root CLAUDE.md with nested CLAUDE.md files throughout the repository for true progressive disclosure.
Key Insight
Claude automatically loads CLAUDE.md from any directory it reads. Instead of centralizing documentation in .claude/docs/, place CLAUDE.md files directly in relevant directories. When Claude reads src/api/users.ts, it also loads src/api/CLAUDE.md - contextual guidance exactly when needed.
Closest Wins: When multiple CLAUDE.md files apply, the one closest to the file being edited takes precedence. A rule in src/api/CLAUDE.md overrides the same topic in root CLAUDE.md.
