Claude Code can load path-scoped rules from .claude/rules without extra context tax
thisdudelikesAI · x · 2026-07-23
The thread says Claude Code supports path-scoped rules via .claude/rules/.
You can drop Markdown files there with YAML frontmatter such as:
yaml
---
paths:
- "src/api//.ts"
---
Those rules load only when Claude touches matching files, which keeps unrelated work free from context overhead.
