Claude Code Configuration & Workflows · Select TWO

A 1,200-line root CLAUDE.md mixes testing, API, deployment, and frontend standards. Package maintainers say most of it is irrelevant to their code, and edits from different teams keep colliding. Which two changes best address this? Select two.

Show answer and explanation

Answer: A and D — Split the file into focused topic files in .claude/rules/, such as testing.md and deployment.md / Keep each standard in its own file and @import only the relevant ones in each package's CLAUDE.md

Both are modular alternatives to a monolithic CLAUDE.md. Topic files in .claude/rules/ give each area its own home, and @import lets each package's CLAUDE.md pull in only the standards its maintainers know apply. (B) moves team standards into user-level files that teammates never receive. (C) makes always-applicable standards depend on someone remembering to invoke a skill.
