Using CLAUDE.md for Project Memory

Set persistent instructions so Claude remembers your preferences.

In this guide (4 steps):

~15s

A special file in your project that Claude reads at the start of every session — like a persistent instruction sheet.

~15s

Coding standards, preferred libraries, architecture decisions, and project-specific rules.

~15s

"Always use TypeScript." "Run tests before committing." "Use Tailwind for styling." "Follow REST naming for APIs."

~15s

Claude also saves things it learns automatically — build commands, debugging insights — across sessions.
