Summary  
This chapter explains how to create and refine project documentation and conventions to guide an AI assistant in reviewing and editing code accurately, including reviewing an existing instruction file, planning tasks, and adding consistent rules.

General domain of usage  
Software development

### Improving Project Context

The `/init` command creates a useful starting point, but `CLAUDE.md` may still miss important project details. Clear instructions help Claude choose the right files, follow project rules, and avoid unnecessary changes. Ask Claude to review the current setup:

> Review this project and its CLAUDE.md file. Add any missing commands, conventions, or restrictions that would help you work more accurately. Keep the instructions concise.

> ### Task
>
> * Run `/init` in the provided Claude Code workspace.
> * Ask Claude to review and improve `CLAUDE.md`.
> * Check the suggested changes.
> * Give Claude a small task and ask for a plan before it edits any files.
> * Add one rule that would make its work more consistent.

Learn how to use Claude Code to plan, build, improve, and automate a practical business application. You will set up an effective project environment, give Claude reliable context, turn specifications into working features, create reusable skills, connect external tools, and schedule recurring processes.

Explore how Claude Code works, install it locally, and use it to complete your first practical tasks. Learn how project context improves its results and how to refine and deploy what it creates.
