Overview
概述
You are creating or improving a file for a codebase. This file is the only content guaranteed to appear in every Claude conversation, making it critical infrastructure for agent effectiveness.
CLAUDE.md你正在为某个代码库创建或优化文件。该文件是唯一能确保在每一次Claude对话中都展示的内容,因此它是提升Agent效能的关键基础配置。
CLAUDE.mdKey Principles (from HumanLayer research)
核心原则(来自HumanLayer研究)
- Under 300 lines (ideally <100). Shorter = better followed.
- Only universally applicable directives. Claude's system prompt uses ~50 of ~150-200 available instruction slots.
- Progressive disclosure: Reference separate docs, don't inline everything.
- Never use as linter: Use actual linters/formatters, not LLM instructions for code style.
- No commands, skills, hooks, or automations: These are discoverable via ,
/help,.claude/commands/,.claude/skills/, and.claude/settings.json. Don't inventory them in CLAUDE.md — they change frequently and become stale..claude/automations/ - Use pointers instead of code snippets (prevents outdated info).
file:line
- 篇幅控制在300行以内(理想情况是少于100行)。越简短,越容易被遵循。
- 仅包含通用适用的指令。Claude的系统提示词在约150-200个可用指令槽中仅使用约50个。
- 渐进式披露:引用独立文档,不要将所有内容内联在文件中。
- 切勿用作代码检查工具:使用实际的代码检查器/格式化工具,而非用大语言模型指令来规范代码风格。
- 不包含命令、技能、钩子或自动化内容:这些内容可通过、
/help、.claude/commands/、.claude/skills/和.claude/settings.json查看。不要在CLAUDE.md中罗列这些内容——它们会频繁变更,很快就会过时。.claude/automations/ - 使用指针替代代码片段(避免信息过时)。
file:line
What "Universally Applicable" Means
“通用适用”的定义
A rule is universally applicable if it applies to every single task in this codebase. Ask yourself:
- Would this rule apply when fixing a bug? Adding a feature? Writing tests? Refactoring?
- If the answer is "only sometimes", it does NOT belong in CLAUDE.md.
Examples of universally applicable rules:
- "Use instead of
uv add" (applies to every Python task)pip install - "Run before committing" (applies to every change)
make check - "All API endpoints require authentication except " (applies to every API task)
/health
Examples of NOT universally applicable (don't include):
- "Use React Query for data fetching" (only applies when adding data fetching)
- "Add migration files for schema changes" (only applies when changing schema)
- Code style rules (use linters instead)
- Commands, skills, hooks, and automations (discoverable via tools, not LLM guidance)
如果一条规则适用于代码库中的每一项任务,那么它就是通用适用的。请自问:
- 这条规则在修复bug、添加功能、编写测试、重构代码时都适用吗?
- 如果答案是“仅有时适用”,那么它就不属于CLAUDE.md的内容。
通用适用规则示例:
- “使用而非
uv add”(适用于所有Python任务)pip install - “提交前运行”(适用于所有变更操作)
make check - “除外,所有API端点都需要身份验证”(适用于所有API相关任务)
/health
非通用适用示例(请勿包含):
- “使用React Query进行数据获取”(仅在添加数据获取功能时适用)
- “为 schema 变更添加迁移文件”(仅在修改schema时适用)
- 代码风格规则(改用代码检查器)
- 命令、技能、钩子和自动化内容(可通过工具查看,无需大语言模型指导)
Your Process
操作流程
Step 1: Explore (ALREADY DONE ABOVE)
步骤1:探索(已在上方完成)
Your Explore agent should have discovered:
WHAT (Technology & Structure):
- Primary language(s) and frameworks
- Project structure (especially monorepo layouts)
- Key directories and their purposes
- Configuration files (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, etc.)
- Build/CI configuration
WHY (Purpose & Architecture):
- What the project does
- How different components relate
- Key abstractions and patterns used
HOW (Commands & Workflows):
- Build commands
- Test commands (unit, integration, e2e)
- Lint/format commands
- Run/dev commands
- Deployment patterns
你的Explore Agent应已发现以下信息:
WHAT(技术与结构):
- 主要编程语言及框架
- 项目结构(尤其是单仓布局)
- 关键目录及其用途
- 配置文件(package.json、pyproject.toml、Cargo.toml等)
- 构建/CI配置
WHY(目的与架构):
- 项目功能
- 不同组件之间的关联方式
- 使用的核心抽象和模式
HOW(命令与工作流):
- 构建命令
- 测试命令(单元测试、集成测试、端到端测试)
- 代码检查/格式化命令
- 运行/开发命令
- 部署模式
Step 2: Check Existing Documentation
步骤2:检查现有文档
Search for:
- Existing README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/
- Existing CLAUDE.md — if one exists, read it carefully and propose targeted edits rather than rewriting from scratch. Preserve what's already working.
- Architecture decision records (ADRs)
- Code conventions documentation
搜索以下内容:
- 现有的README.md、CONTRIBUTING.md、docs/目录
- 现有的CLAUDE.md——如果存在,请仔细阅读并提出针对性修改建议,而非从头重写。保留已生效的内容。
- 架构决策记录(ADRs)
- 代码规范文档
Step 3: Create Progressive Disclosure Structure
步骤3:创建渐进式披露结构
If complex docs are needed, create an directory at the repo root with focused files:
agent-docs/agent-docs/
├── architecture.md # System design, component relationships
├── build-and-test.md # How to build, test, verify changes
├── conventions.md # Code patterns specific to this project
├── database.md # Schema, migrations, data patterns
├── api-patterns.md # API design, authentication, etc.
└── glossary.md # User-specific vocabulary Claude can't inferOnly create files that add real value. Don't create empty templates.
如果需要复杂文档,请在仓库根目录创建目录,并添加针对性文件:
agent-docs/agent-docs/
├── architecture.md # 系统设计、组件关系
├── build-and-test.md # 构建、测试、验证变更的方法
├── conventions.md # 项目特有的代码模式
├── database.md # 数据库schema、迁移、数据模式
├── api-patterns.md # API设计、身份验证等
└── glossary.md # Claude无法推断的用户特定词汇表仅创建具有实际价值的文件,不要创建空模板。
Step 4: Write the CLAUDE.md
步骤4:编写CLAUDE.md
Structure the file as:
markdown
undefined文件结构如下:
markdown
undefinedProject Name
项目名称
[One sentence describing what this project is]
[一句话描述该项目的功能]

Non-Obvious Structure
非直观结构
[Don't list directories — Claude can discover those via tools]
[Instead, document things that AREN'T discoverable from file names alone:]
[- Generated code paths (so Claude doesn't edit them)]
[- Monorepo package relationships and dependency direction]
[- Naming conventions that imply behavior (e.g. *.server.ts = server-only)]
[- Co-location patterns (e.g. each feature owns its routes/, models/, services/)]
[不要罗列目录——Claude可通过工具发现这些内容]
[相反,记录无法从文件名直接看出的信息:]
[- 生成代码的路径(避免Claude编辑这些文件)]
[- 单仓包之间的关系及依赖方向]
[- 隐含行为的命名规范(例如*.server.ts = 仅服务器端使用)]
[- 代码共置模式(例如每个功能模块拥有自己的routes/、models/、services/目录)]
Key Patterns
核心模式
[2-3 critical patterns or conventions unique to this codebase]
[Use file:line references, not code snippets]
[2-3个代码库特有的关键模式或规范]
[使用file:line引用,而非代码片段]
Documentation
文档
- - System design and component relationships
agent-docs/architecture.md - - Detailed build and test instructions [Only list files that exist]
agent-docs/build-and-test.md
- - 系统设计与组件关系
agent-docs/architecture.md - - 详细的构建和测试说明 [仅列出已存在的文件]
agent-docs/build-and-test.md
Critical Rules
关键规则
[Only include rules that are UNIVERSALLY applicable across ALL tasks]
[Max 5-10 rules]
[If it can be enforced by a linter, don't include it here]
undefined[仅包含适用于所有任务的通用规则]
[最多5-10条规则]
[如果可通过代码检查器强制执行,则不要在此处列出]
undefinedStep 5: Validate Against Checklist
步骤5:对照检查清单验证
Before writing the CLAUDE.md:
- Under 100 lines (stretch goal: under 60)
- No code style rules (use linters instead)
- No code snippets (use file:line references)
- Only universally applicable directives
- Commands are verified to work
- Progressive disclosure used for complex topics
- References existing documentation where appropriate
编写CLAUDE.md前,请确认:
- 篇幅少于100行(进阶目标:少于60行)
- 无代码风格规则(改用代码检查器)
- 无代码片段(使用file:line引用)
- 仅包含通用适用的指令
- 命令已验证可正常运行
- 对复杂主题使用渐进式披露
- 适当引用现有文档
Output
输出要求
- First: Summarize what you discovered about the codebase
- Second: Directly create or edit the file. If one exists, make targeted edits. If not, create it.
CLAUDE.md - Third: Create any files that add real value
agent-docs/ - Fourth: List unresolved questions (e.g., "Is there a staging environment?")
- 首先:总结你对代码库的发现
- 其次:直接创建或编辑文件。如果已存在,请进行针对性修改;如果不存在,则创建新文件。
CLAUDE.md - 第三:创建任何具有实际价值的文件
agent-docs/ - 第四:列出未解决的问题(例如:“是否存在预发布环境?”)
Important Notes
重要提示
- If a CLAUDE.md already exists, default to targeted edits — don't rewrite from scratch. Only do a full replacement if the existing file is fundamentally broken.
- Ask clarifying questions if the codebase purpose is unclear.
- Don't guess at commands—verify they exist in package.json/Makefile/etc.
- Don't include commands, skills, hooks, automations, or other discoverable/deterministic config. These belong in ,
.claude/commands/,.claude/skills/, and.claude/settings.json— not CLAUDE.md..claude/automations/
- 如果CLAUDE.md已存在,优先进行针对性修改——不要从头重写。仅当现有文件存在根本性问题时,才进行完全替换。
- 如果代码库的用途不明确,请提出澄清问题。
- 不要猜测命令——需在package.json/Makefile等文件中验证其存在。
- 不要包含命令、技能、钩子、自动化或其他可发现/确定性配置。这些内容应放在、
.claude/commands/、.claude/skills/和.claude/settings.json中,而非CLAUDE.md。.claude/automations/
