HoA #74: "CLAUDE.md" — The One File That Makes AI Remember How You Work

09 June Online

About this event

You open Claude. You explain your preferences. You get a decent result. Next session, you explain the same preferences again. And again. And again.

This is how most people work with AI: every session starts from zero. The model forgets who you are, what you care about, and how you want things done. So you compensate with longer prompts, more back-and-forth, and lower expectations.
One file fixes this. It is called CLAUDE.md.

In this session, I will show you what CLAUDE.md is, what goes into it, and what you should keep out. You will leave this session knowing:

  • What CLAUDE.md does and where it lives in Claude Cowork
  • The five sections that belong in every CLAUDE.md (and the three things that do not)
  • How to write your first version in under 20 minutes
  • Why CLAUDE.md is the foundation for everything else: Skills, connectors, and recurring workflows.

This Meetup is part of the launch week for my new Claude Cowork online course. The course covers the full system: Skills, evaluation, configuration, connectors, cost discipline, and bounded recurring workflows. If you want to go deeper after the session, the course will be available at a launch-week discount.

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
