    It’s added in every chat you start with Claude for that project. It’s useful for including context specific to your project that it couldn’t otherwise know. High level stuff like what it’s for, but also details about how the folders are organized. This saves time and tokens from rescanning the whole thing every time.

        That’s exactly what it’s perfect for. If you go further and detail the intent of the project and give a high level overview of the architecture, it’s even better at inferring what needs to be done without a bunch of expensive file reads and asking you repetitive questions
