Production CLAUDE.md Template Pack for Claude Code Projects

Stop wasting tokens on bloated CLAUDE.md files. 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. Every template is battle-tested across real projects and follows Anthropic engineers own recommendation of keeping configs lean and focused.

How to Use

1. Pick the template closest to your stack (e.g., nextjs-fullstack.md for a Next.js project)
2. Copy it to your project root as CLAUDE.md
3. Customize the project-specific sections (paths, conventions, forbidden patterns)
4. Combine the token-efficient base with any stack template for maximum savings
5. Review monthly and remove rules Claude now follows by default

Who This Is For

• Developers using Claude Code who want to reduce token costs by 30-50% per session
• Teams standardizing CLAUDE.md configs across multiple repositories
• Solo developers who want a proven starting point instead of writing from scratch
• Anyone tired of Claude ignoring rules buried in bloated config files
