Awesome CLAUDE.md

A curated list of exemplary CLAUDE.md files from real open-source projects.

Prompt Librariesclaude-mdawesome-listbest-practices

An awesome-list of real-world CLAUDE.md files worth learning from: how established open-source projects onboard a coding agent, what belongs in project memory, and which onboarding patterns survive contact with real codebases. The reference to hand a teammate who asks "what should go in our CLAUDE.md?".

What it does

  • 108 annotated CLAUDE.md case studies, each linking to a per-project analysis page
  • Six scenario categories — complex projects, developer tooling, getting started, infrastructure, libraries and frameworks, project handoffs — plus essential and advanced top picks
  • Published scoring rubric: 100-point scale, 60+ required for inclusion, content quality weighted 70% versus 30% for maturity and recognition

When to use it

Use it as a reference corpus when writing or reviewing your own CLAUDE.md — find a project shaped like yours and see what its onboarding file covers.

Getting started

A curated document collection — browse the README; each entry links to the referenced project and its analysis page.

Things to know

The repository itself carries no license; entries point at third-party projects whose CLAUDE.md files evolve independently of the annotations.
