The basics
What is a CLAUDE.md file?
A CLAUDE.md is the orientation file an AI reads first to learn who it is working for. It is a plain markdown file that holds the essentials about your business so the AI does not start every conversation blank. Claude Code loads it automatically from a project root, and the same file works as Claude Project instructions or a pasted system prompt in ChatGPT, Gemini, or any other assistant.
Why it matters
Without a CLAUDE.md
Every chat starts from zero. You re-explain what the business does, who is on the team, and which tools you use before the AI can help. The context disappears when you close the tab.
With a CLAUDE.md
The AI arrives already knowing your business. It opens every conversation oriented, follows your conventions, and points itself at the right detail when a task needs more.
Using a CLAUDE.md as Claude Project instructions
A CLAUDE.md doubles as your Claude Project instructions. Paste the same content into a Project's instructions field and it behaves exactly like the file Claude Code loads automatically: every chat in that Project opens already knowing your business. You are not maintaining two versions. The one file is your auto-loaded context in Claude Code, your Claude Project instructions in the desktop app, and a pasted system prompt anywhere else.
Anatomy of a good CLAUDE.md
A CLAUDE.md is for orientation, not a full manual. Keep it short and high-signal, and let a linked knowledge base carry the depth. This is the structure we generate:
| Section | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Company Snapshot | One or two lines on what the business is, what it sells, and who buys. |
| Core Systems | The tools you run on and what each one is for. The operational backbone. |
| Team — who owns what | The people and their lanes, so the AI knows who decides what. |
| For Deeper Context | A pointer to the knowledge base, where the depth lives. |
| Instructions for Claude | How the AI should behave: read this first, ask before assuming, keep it current. |
How we generate yours
You answer six short questions about your business. One pass turns those answers into a structured CLAUDE.md in the shape above, organized the way Anthropic recommends for giving AI context. It is free, it takes about two minutes, and you get a real file to download, edit, and connect.
Hand-written or generated?
You can absolutely write a CLAUDE.md yourself in any text editor. The structure is the same either way. The difference is the work. We do it for you, structured and filled in from your answers, in two minutes instead of an afternoon spent staring at a blank file. The file is plain markdown and yours to keep, so you can keep editing it by hand whenever you want.

Questions
CLAUDE.md, answered.
What is a CLAUDE.md file?
A CLAUDE.md is the orientation file an AI reads first to learn who it is working for. It is a plain markdown file that holds the essentials about your business: what you do, the tools you run on, who owns what, and how the AI should behave. Claude Code automatically loads a CLAUDE.md from the project root, and the same file works as Claude Project instructions or a pasted system prompt in any other AI.
How do I create a CLAUDE.md?
You can write one by hand in any text editor, or generate one here in about two minutes. Answer six short questions about your business and we produce a structured CLAUDE.md for you, free. You get a real file you can download, edit, and drop into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini.
Where does the CLAUDE.md file go?
For Claude Code, put CLAUDE.md in the root of your project so it loads automatically at the start of a session. You can also place one in a subfolder for context specific to that folder. Outside Claude Code, paste the same content into your Claude Project instructions, into ChatGPT under a project or custom instructions, or at the top of any chat.
How do I use a CLAUDE.md as Claude Project instructions?
Paste the CLAUDE.md content into the Project's custom instructions or knowledge, and every chat in that Project starts already oriented to your business. The same file works as Claude Code's auto-loaded context when it sits in the project root, or as a pasted system prompt in any other AI. You write the context once and reuse it wherever you work.
What should a CLAUDE.md file contain?
Keep it short and high-signal. A good CLAUDE.md covers a one-line company snapshot, the core systems you use and what each is for, who owns what on the team, a pointer to deeper docs for detail, and a short set of instructions telling the AI how to behave. The goal is orientation, not a full manual. Depth lives in a linked knowledge base.
Does CLAUDE.md work with ChatGPT and other AI tools?
Yes. CLAUDE.md is just markdown, so it is not locked to Claude. The name comes from the Claude Code convention, but the file is portable. Paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini, or any assistant as instructions or memory, and it gives that AI the same context. You bring the AI; the file is what it reads.
Do I need Claude Code to use a CLAUDE.md?
No. Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md automatically from a project root, which is convenient if you use it. But the file is plain markdown and works anywhere. If you use Claude Projects, ChatGPT, or Gemini instead, you paste the same content in as instructions and get the same benefit.
Is the CLAUDE.md generator free?
Yes. Generating your CLAUDE.md is free, with no card required. You also get a free AI Action Plan and the first knowledge-base docs. The full knowledge base, the prompt and skill library, and the one-paste live connection are a one-time paid upgrade. There is no subscription.
Can I edit my CLAUDE.md after it is generated?
Yes. The file is plain text and yours to keep. Edit it in any editor, or ask your AI to revise it as the business changes. Because the context lives in a file rather than inside the model, keeping it current is a quick edit rather than starting over.
What is the difference between CLAUDE.md and a knowledge base?
CLAUDE.md is the orientation layer; the knowledge base is the depth layer. CLAUDE.md is the short file the AI loads first to get its bearings, and it points to the knowledge base for detail on your company, team, tools, products, customers, and processes. Together they let the AI start oriented and dig deeper when a task needs it.
How is a generated CLAUDE.md different from writing one myself?
The structure is the same; the difference is the work. You could write one yourself, the same way you could write your own business plan. We do it for you: six answers in, a structured CLAUDE.md out, organized the way Anthropic recommends for AI context, in two minutes instead of an afternoon of staring at a blank file.
