FAQPage Schema
How do I audit CLAUDE.md files for context bloat and staleness?

Auditing CLAUDE.md files involves scanning root, module-level, and rule files to detect anti-patterns, staleness, and size issues. This process checks file content and version control history to generate actionable reports with severity indicators and scoring.

What are common CLAUDE.md anti-patterns that degrade Claude's context management?

Common CLAUDE.md anti-patterns include file staleness, excessive size, and outdated instructions. These issues contribute to context bloat, which degrades performance, cost-efficiency, and accuracy in Claude's context management during codebase interactions.

When should I run a CLAUDE.md health check on my codebase?

You should run a CLAUDE.md health check before a major code refactor to ensure all context files are up-to-date. This prevents stale instructions and context bloat from causing potential performance degradation during AI-assisted development.

Can I check module-level CLAUDE.md files or only the root context file?

You can check both root and module-level CLAUDE.md files. The comprehensive audit discovers and analyzes all relevant context files across the project, including rule files, to provide a complete health assessment of your documentation structure.

How does a CLAUDE.md audit detect if my documentation is stale?

A CLAUDE.md audit detects staleness by performing checks against the codebase and version control history. This analysis identifies outdated instructions and documentation that no longer aligns with the current state of the code.
