Use .md files CORRECTLY in Claude Code

About this lesson

Understanding markdown files in Claude Code is one of the biggest unlocks for building faster and getting consistently better results—but most people use them completely wrong. In this video, I break down the difference between `CLAUDE.md` files and every other type of markdown file, when to use each one, and how to structure your projects so Claude always has the right context at the right time. You'll learn how global, project, and feature-specific instructions work, why separating persistent rules from documentation matters, and the exact system I use to keep large Claude Code projects organized and maintainable. If you've ever wondered where instructions should live, when to create additional `.md` files, or why Claude sometimes seems to forget important context, this video will clear it all up. 🔗 More AI workflows, tools, and tutorials → https://ethanai.ai 🔥 Apply for one of the lifetime free spots in my AI community + join the waitlist → https://ethanai.ai/apply 📸 Follow me on Instagram → @ethan.ai.ethan 💬 Drop a comment with your biggest Claude Code workflow question—I read every one. 👍 If this helped you understand Claude Code better, hit like and subscribe for more AI development tutorials, workflows, and practical tips. #ClaudeCode #Anthropic #Claude #AI #AIDevelopment #AICoding #VibeCoding #DeveloperTools #Programming #Productivity #AITools #LLM #TechTutorial #SoftwareDevelopment
