What is CLAUDE.md?

CLAUDE.md is a project instruction file. Use it to tell Happycapy what to remember, how to work, and what rules to follow when it returns to the same Project. You do not need to treat it like code. Think of it as the standing brief for a Project: the audience, tone, output rules, file locations, and review habits that should stay true across sessions. Happycapy can create or update CLAUDE.md for you. You can also open Files, select the file, and edit it directly. After you create a Project and start working, open Files to see the Project workspace. CLAUDE.md sits alongside uploaded source files and generated outputs, so future sessions can reuse the same instructions.

When to use it

Add something to CLAUDE.md when it should help future sessions in the same Project. Good reasons include:
  • You corrected Happycapy for the same thing more than once.
  • The Project has rules you do not want to repeat every time.
  • Future work needs the same audience, tone, file location, or review standard.
  • Someone else opening the Project would need this context to get useful results.
Keep one-off task details in the current message. Put stable Project context in CLAUDE.md.

​
Write instructions Happycapy can follow

CLAUDE.md guides Happycapy. It is not a hard safety switch, so clear and specific instructions work better than broad preferences. A useful CLAUDE.md is usually short, grouped with headings, and easy to scan.
You can also ask Happycapy to review the file:

​
Project and global instructions

Most Projects only need one CLAUDE.md file in the Project workspace. Use broader locations only when the distinction matters.
Want the same preference to apply across Projects? Ask Happycapy to update /home/node/.claude/CLAUDE.md. For example: “Set my global CLAUDE.md so Happycapy defaults to Chinese, keeps progress updates concise, and asks before changing public-facing copy.”
If you are unsure where something belongs, start with the Project CLAUDE.md. Keep the file focused on instructions that should apply to most future work in that Project.
