## Summary

A practical guide to writing effective CLAUDE.md files for .NET projects using Claude Code. Covers the memory hierarchy (enterprise, project, rules, user levels), the WHAT-WHY-HOW framework for structuring instructions, what to include and exclude, and common mistakes to avoid. Includes a production-ready template for .NET Clean Architecture projects, tips for organizing large enterprise solutions using the .claude/rules/ directory, and a comparison of CLAUDE.md with similar context files in Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and Aider. Also touches on advanced features like import syntax, scoped rules via YAML frontmatter, and how CLAUDE.md interacts with custom skills and subagents.
