@vincemask: Many people use Claude Code but only have one CLAUDE.md in their project. A truly maintainable configuration is typically broken down into layers: 1. CLAUDE.md: Project-level context and conventions 2. settings.json: Permissions, model, and hooks 3. rules/: Split rules by topic 4. commands/: Settle repeatable workflows 5. skills/: Dynamically load based on task context 6. agents/: Define dedicated sub-agents 7. hooks/: Auto-validate before and after tool calls. When you have a lot of configurations, don't cram them all into one file. The clearer the layering, the more stable Claude Code becomes, and the easier it is to maintain and reuse. Here is a project structure diagram for your reference.
