I understand the use of CLAUDE.md and I ask Claude to update it after every feature I work on my app. But I’m getting to a point where I feel like this CLAUDE.md file is going to get out of hand. My scenario and I will try to keep this high level: My app works with cases, currently I am working on one case, improving it, adding features, fixing bugs. I can keep the context of this case in my Claude.md no problem . But as I continue to work on this case, it’s only going to get bigger and more complicated and clutter the CLAUDE.md file. Also eventually I’m going to have more cases, and I might need Claude to reference a different case every time I sit down to work. This can include on fixing bugs for a case, adding features etc. I am just wondering what would be the correct and optimized workflow here to stay efficient. Do I include description of each case in the appropriate directory and reference the description file from the CLAUDE.md? But this way Claude won’t have any context unless I specifically ask it to read the description file. But then this might cost too much to do… just trying to figure out the best way to approach this. submitted by /u/keefoCuzin
