SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CLAUDE.md files tend to grow large, become hard to navigate, and burden AI requests with unnecessary context. This skill provides a structured approach to keep CLAUDE.md concise, modular, and easy to maintain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Size limits and a 3-tier documentation system to keep CLAUDE.md under practical length limits.
  • Conditional loading with paths: frontmatter to load rules only for relevant files.
  • A dedicated .claude/rules/ directory for domain-specific documentation and a clear memory hierarchy.

Quick Start

Copy the skill to your CLAUDE environment and start organizing projects with a concise CLAUDE.md. Use /init to generate a starter CLAUDE.md, then create domain-specific rules under .claude/rules/, and keep the main file focused on universal content.
