The CLAUDE.md starter template.

CLAUDE.md is the one file Claude reads first, every session, before it writes a line of code. Without it, Claude guesses at your stack, your style, your rules, and some guesses ship to production. With it, every prompt gets shorter and every output lands closer on the first try. This is the template I start every app from. Take it.

I'll email it to you and add you to occasional notes on shipping real apps. No spam, leave anytime.

  • Project identity, so Claude knows what it's building from token one
  • The anti-persona section, the single highest-leverage block
  • A versioned stack, conventions, and brand-voice rules
  • Six security non-negotiables Claude applies without being asked
