# CLAUDE.md: Give Claude Code Standing Instructions
|
|
|
|
## What this project is
|
|
|
|
A companion repo for the From AI to Chitta article on **CLAUDE.md**
|
|
(concept ID: `CC-010`). It contains exercises that let you write,
|
|
layer, and improve CLAUDE.md files in your own projects.
|
|
|
|
Article: https://fromaitochitta.com/claude-code-claude-md
|
|
|
|
## How to use this
|
|
|
|
1. Open Claude Code in this directory: `cd claude-code-claude-md && claude`
|
|
2. Work through exercises in order: `exercises/01-write-your-first.md`, then 02, then 03
|
|
3. Each exercise has a self-contained prompt you paste into Claude Code
|
|
4. Compare your output to the expected output described in each exercise
|
|
|
|
## Code quality expectations
|
|
|
|
- This is a learning repo. Clarity over cleverness.
|
|
- Every exercise must run without modification on a clean clone
|
|
- No external dependencies unless explicitly listed in the exercise
|
|
- If something does not work as expected, that is useful information -- note it
|
|
