CLAUDE.md Audit (April 2026): Audited all 21 CLAUDE.md files across Projects directory plus global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and 8 rules files. Key changes: (1) TattooContestSystem CLAUDE.md trimmed from 167 to ~50 lines, product spec moved to docs/product-spec.md. (2) tracking-and-verification.md rules file condensed from 228 to ~95 lines, saving ~130 lines loaded into every session. (3) Global CLAUDE.md trimmed Cross-Platform Usage section. (4) Lauren Website CLAUDE.md collapsed Completed Work and removed generic MCP tool list. (5) Dave Website Image optimization CLAUDE.md history collapsed to pointer. (6) TFT analytics CLAUDE.md removed duplicated communication rules. (7) TFT archived email Setup CLAUDE.md removed duplicate Session Handoff Protocol. Model files that need no changes: Open Brain dashboard (82 lines), Codex Meal Planner (90 lines), Claude Code pointer (10 lines). 2nd Brain main CLAUDE.md was already clean at 101 lines (stale 415-line worktree copy exists at .claude/worktrees/affectionate-maxwell/). Best practices reinforced: keep CLAUDE.md under 100 lines where possible, no session logs in CLAUDE.md, no product specs in CLAUDE.md, no duplicating global rules in project files, no listing MCP tools agents can discover on their own.
