Objective: When Claude (the native Mac application containing Chat, Cowork, Code) starts up, the claude.md file should be loaded. What I’ve tried: I copied claude.md to several locations (as suggested by claude and gemini) /Users…/Documents/CLAUDE.MD Claude’s home directory Asking claude to load “universal memory” seems to work as it will load the claude.md file in the documents folder. It seems likely that there should be a directory that reads a file on startup. This is a very basic software engineering pattern (i.e. environment variables, linux path etc.). What am I missing here? For context, I want to automate this because I have about 30 cowork projects and many of them have tasks. Many of them use the same basic information (my name, phone number, kids names, login details) and I have to keep re-introducing this information in sessions and to unblock tasks. submitted by /u/cerberusaeon
