I’m a consultant for an enterprise software product. Built up ~250k chars of structured Markdown KB (6 files: index, 4 domain KBs, 2 full-text backups for deep lookups). Originally designed for Claude.ai projects with YAML frontmatter for priority/load order. Now moving to Claude Code and stuck on the setup. Do I have to hand Claude Code the same MD files for every new project/app I build on top of this product? Or is there a smarter way? What’s worked for you? CLAUDE.md as a thin pointer (“KB lives in /docs/, file X covers A, file Y covers B”) and let Claude read on demand Convert each KB into a proper Skill with name/description frontmatter for auto-invocation Auto-load everything into context (via u/imports , never did tired that) in CLAUDE.md , even though that eats a lot of tokens upfront I guess Curious about your experiences, thanks! submitted by /u/Ok_Loquat7607
