Free CLAUDE.md generator, with rules Claude can't skip.

Fill in your project and pick your house rules. You get 2 files: a CLAUDE.md, and a settings.json that Claude Code enforces. It runs in your browser, with no sign-in.

Why 2 files? Claude reads CLAUDE.md as advice, and sometimes skips it. Claude Code's own docs say: "Permission rules are enforced by Claude Code, not by the model." So your "never touch" list also goes into settings.json as deny rules. Read the docs.

Project name What it is, in one line Stack Run, test and build commands Never touch (files or folders, comma separated) How Claude answers

Fixed answer shapesConfirm, Cause, Menu or Report. Picked before it writes. All decisions in one numbered listYou reply "1 yes, 2 no". Says how sure it is, as a number"Found it, about 80% sure", never "likely". Plain words, no narrationNo "let me look". Short sentences.

How Claude works

Waits for "go" before it edits files Never says "done" before it checked the work Small changes, one thing at a time Never rewrites this file on its ownAlso enforced: settings.json asks you first. Keeps TASKS.md, BACKLOG.md and DECISIONS.mdA new session reads them and knows the state.

Enforced git safety (settings.json)

Block git pushYou push, Claude doesn't. Ask before git commit Block git reset --hard, git checkout --, git restore, rm -rfThe commands people lose work to.

1. Your CLAUDE.md

Put it in your project's top folder.

2. Your .claude/settings.json (enforced)

Save it as .claude/settings.json in your project. Already have one? Merge the permissions block. Check it with /permissions in Claude Code.

How these files are built

The CLAUDE.md rules come from a builder's daily Claude Code setup, cut down to the parts that fit any project. The settings.json uses Claude Code's own permission syntax: Edit(./path), Read(./.env), Bash(git push *). Deny rules win over allow rules.
