Thank you for Claude Code (Web). Google has a similar offering with Google Jules. I got really, really bad results from Jules and was amazed by Claude Code when I finally discovered it.

I compared both with the same set of prompts and Claude Code seemed to be a senior expert developer and Jules, well don't know who be that bad ;-)

Anyway, I also wanted to have persistent information, so I don't have to feed Claude Code the same stuff over and over again. I was looking for similar functionality as Claude projects. But that's not available for Claude Code Web.

So, I asked Claude what would be a way of achieving pretty the same as projects, and it told me to put all information I wanted to share in a file with the filename:.clinerules. Claude told me I should put that file in the root of my repository.

So please help me, is your recommendation the correct way of doing this, or did Claude give the correct answer?

Maybe you can clear that up by explaining the difference between the two files?

CLAUDE.md is the correct file for Claude.
