Nobody talks about HOW to structure a Claude Code project. ๐งฑ
So here's the exact folder structure I use โ and why it works.
The secret isn't just the code. It's how you set up Claude to work WITH your project from day one. ๐
๐ CLAUDE.md โ Your project's brain. Tells Claude your stack, style, and rules โ automatically, every session.
๐ .claude/skills/ โ Reusable AI workflows for code review, refactoring, and releases. Build once, use forever.
๐ .claude/hooks/ โ Guardrails and automation checks so Claude doesn't go off-track.
๐ docs/ โ Architecture decisions, runbooks, and context Claude can always reference.
๐ src/ โ Each module gets its own CLAUDE.md so context stays focused and lean.
This structure alone can save you hours every week. โก
The best practices?
โ
Keep CLAUDE.md focused and structured
โ
Use skills for repeated workflows
โ
Keep AI context minimal and precise
โ
Document every architecture decision
