Claude Code Best Practices (CLAUDE.md guide)
The canonical article on CLAUDE.md from Anthropic's engineering team — what to include (commands, style, workflows), where files can live, and how to tune them for agentic coding.

Written by Anthropic's own engineers, this is the source document for CLAUDE.md conventions: document bash commands and core files, state code-style rules explicitly, include testing instructions and repo etiquette, and treat the file as a living prompt you refine like any other.
It also covers CLAUDE.md placement (repo root, parent/child directories, home folder), the `#` shortcut for appending memories, and workflow patterns — explore-plan-code-commit, TDD with agents — that make the config pay off.Categories:
