Do We Need More CLAUDE.md Files?

Short Answer: No

The /gv/CLAUDE.md we just created is sufficient for all gv/ subdirectories.

How Claude Code Finds CLAUDE.md

Claude Code walks UP the directory tree:

Working in: /konnectvol/gv/gvshell/internal/providers/

1. Check /konnectvol/gv/gvshell/internal/providers/CLAUDE.md 
2. Check /konnectvol/gv/gvshell/internal/CLAUDE.md 
3. Check /konnectvol/gv/gvshell/CLAUDE.md 
4. Check /konnectvol/gv/CLAUDE.md ✓ FOUND
5. Check /konnectvol/CLAUDE.md ✓ ALSO LOADED

Result: Both files are loaded and merged into context

Current Structure (Optimal)

/konnectvol/
├── CLAUDE.md           # Root: kontask UI, kongate, konui, konsole
└── gv/
    ├── CLAUDE.md       # gv/: coding standards, gvShell build info
    ├── gvshell/        # No CLAUDE.md needed - inherits from gv/
    ├── hub/            # No CLAUDE.md needed - inherits from gv/
    └── docs/           # Full docs remain here (read on-demand)

When You WOULD Add Subdirectory CLAUDE.md

ScenarioExample
Different coding standardsA Python ML service with different conventions
Different team ownershipExternal contributor folder with different permissions
Different API contractsA gRPC service vs REST service
Override parent instructionsDisable certain rules for a specific folder

Konnect Services

The existing service CLAUDE.md files (kongate/CLAUDE.md, konui/CLAUDE.md, etc.) make sense because each service has:

  • Different test commands
  • Service-specific configuration
  • Different API endpoints
  • Unique operational concerns

gvShell doesn't need this yet - /gv/CLAUDE.md covers the Go build, testing, and standards for the entire /gv/ tree.

Recommendation: Keep current structure. Add /gv/gvshell/CLAUDE.md only if gvShell grows to need its own specific instructions that differ from the general gv/ standards.
