Free CLAUDE.md Generator

Build a compact CLAUDE.md from project facts you provide. The generated file follows current Claude Code guidance: short, specific, scoped, and easy to audit.

Key facts

No prompt, project name, command, or convention leaves your browser.

Claude Code docs recommend targeting under 200 lines per CLAUDE.md file.

CLAUDE.md is context, not a hard enforcement layer; use hooks or settings for requirements that must always run.

Use the tool

All calculations and files are generated in this page. Nothing is uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Step 1

    Describe the project type, stack, commands, and conventions.

  2. Step 2

    Choose whether the file is for a shared repository, local-only workflow, or an AGENTS.md bridge.

  3. Step 3

    Generate the markdown, edit anything project-specific, then download or copy it.

  4. Step 4

    Commit only shared project guidance; keep personal or private notes in CLAUDE.local.md.

FAQ

Is this a complete replacement for reading the Claude Code docs?

No. It is a practical starter file based on current docs. Review it against your repo and remove anything that is not useful every session.

Should I paste secrets or private URLs into the generator?

No. The tool runs locally in your browser, but a committed CLAUDE.md should not contain credentials, customer data, or private machine details.

Why does the generated file stay short?

Claude Code documentation says larger CLAUDE.md files consume context and may reduce adherence, so the generator favors concise, concrete rules.
