Frequently asked questions

What is CLAUDE.md?
CLAUDE.md is the primary configuration file for Claude Code projects. It tells Claude about your project's tech stack, coding conventions, architecture, and development commands. Think of it as a README specifically for Claude.
What goes in the .claude/ folder?
The .claude/ folder contains settings.json (permissions and model config), rules/ (modular coding standards), agents/ (subagent definitions for code review, debugging, etc.), commands/ (custom slash commands), hooks/ (automation scripts), and skills/ (reusable domain knowledge).
Do I need AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md?
If you only use Claude Code, use CLAUDE.md. If your team uses multiple AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, etc.), use AGENTS.md as the source of truth and symlink it to CLAUDE.md. dotoclaude supports both approaches.
Can I use this for monorepos?
Yes. When you select monorepo mode, dotoclaude generates a navigation-only root CLAUDE.md plus per-package CLAUDE.md files. It also configures additionalDirectories in settings.json for cross-package awareness.
Is dotoclaude free?
Yes, dotoclaude is completely free and open source. The generated files are plain markdown and JSON — no vendor lock-in, no subscriptions.
How do Claude Code hooks work?
Hooks are shell scripts that run on specific events: PreToolUse (block dangerous commands), PostToolUse (auto-format after edits), Stop (notify when done), and more. Exit code 2 blocks an action; exit 0 allows it.
