Most teams treat it like documentation — a place to describe the project, list the tech stack, explain what the tests do. That is the wrong mental model and it is why most CLAUDE.md files are both too long and too ineffective. CLAUDE.md is behavioral programming. Its job is to change how Claude makes decisions, not to describe facts that Claude can read from the codebase itself.
