This pack includes 12 production-ready CLAUDE.md templates, each under 200 lines, designed to give Claude Code the exact context it needs without the fluff.

- Customize the project-specific sections (paths, conventions, forbidden patterns)
- Combine the token-efficient base with any stack template for maximum savings
- Review monthly and remove rules Claude now follows by default
