To standardize Markdown documentation, enforce PascalCase.md file naming and a hierarchical Claude.md structure. This allows Claude to consistently locate and apply the correct context across project folders.

The Claude.md hierarchy is a documentation structure spanning global to directory-specific scopes. Claude automatically reads these files from a folder and its parent folders to apply context when accessing any Markdown file.

Yes, you need YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md files with at least a name and a description. This frontmatter standardizes Markdown documentation and supports optional components for extended behavior.

You propagate context by enforcing a Claude.md hierarchy from global to directory-specific scopes. Claude automatically reads these files from a folder and its parent folders to apply context when accessing any file.

The hierarchy requires strict PascalCase.md naming and YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md files. It is specifically applied to projects using Claude.md, meaning standardization depends on consistent naming and hierarchical rules.
