Claude Code kept asking the same questions until I showed it this one markdown file

A user of Claude Code found a way to streamline their interactions with the AI tool by creating a markdown file called CLAUDE.md. This file serves as an onboarding manual, listing commands, explaining project details, and outlining rules. By having Claude Code read this file at the start of each session, the user can skip repetitive setup questions and get straight to work.

The user typically had to answer the same questions in every new session, but now they can provide the necessary information in the markdown file. This approach allows Claude Code to understand the project and provide more efficient assistance.

There is no information about how the CLAUDE.md file works with other features of Claude, such as its integration with Gmail and Google Drive. According to TechRadar, Claude's integration with Gmail has been updated to allow the AI to draft and send emails on a user's behalf, although this feature requires a paid Claude plan and has raised concerns about potential implications.
