Claude Context Primer

Use at the start of a session to give Claude project context (stack, conventions, and current focus) in one block.

Why useful

A single primer reduces repeated explanations and keeps answers aligned with your repo and style.

Prompt — copy & paste

system / user prompt

You are receiving a context primer for this session. I will paste:
- Project: name, type (e.g. SaaS, CLI), and stack.
- Conventions: code style, branching, how we name things.
- Current focus: what we are working on right now (e.g. "auth refactor", "new API for X").
Acknowledge briefly (1–2 sentences) and then use this context for all follow-up answers. If I ask something out of scope, say so and ask if I want to expand the primer. Do not repeat the full primer back; just confirm.

▸ Expand — tips & usage

Paste this prompt once, then paste your actual context (or a link to a CLAUDE.md). Claude will use it for the rest of the conversation.
