How to structure CLAUDE.md, Skills and Agents
Summary

Knowledge drift in coding agent instruction files for Claude Code—where duplicated facts across CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills, .claude/agents, and hooks cause broken code—can be eliminated by routing content by load timing and ownership: always-loaded rules in CLAUDE.md, deep on-demand patterns in skills, workflows in agents, and enforced checks in hooks. The fix: every fact lives exactly once, with links elsewhere, and documentation claims are validated by grepping the codebase for mentioned patterns and running retrieval tests with a subagent to catch regressions before they generate broken code.
