Path-scoped .claude/rules/ context files for leaner CLAUDE.md

Context Rules (.claude/rules/)

  • seite init now generates a lean CLAUDE.md (~160 lines) plus path-scoped .claude/rules/*.md files that Claude loads automatically when working with matching files
  • 8 always-present rules: SEO requirements, templates, i18n, data files, shortcodes, config reference, features, design prompts
  • 2 conditional rules: contact form (when [contact] configured), trust center (when trust collection present)
  • Rules use YAML frontmatter with paths: for automatic scoping (e.g., templates.md only loads when editing templates/**)
  • Follows Anthropic's recommendation of keeping CLAUDE.md under 200 lines for better instruction adherence

Upgrade

  • seite upgrade creates .claude/rules/ files for existing projects (non-destructive — existing CLAUDE.md is not modified)
  • Post-upgrade hint suggests trimming CLAUDE.md if it's large, since detailed content now lives in rules files
