How do you give your AI coding assistant context about your project architecture?

Every time I open a new Claude Code or Cursor session,
I spend the first 10 minutes explaining my project.

"We use PostgreSQL because..."
"Auth is JWT with 24h expiry..."
"Please follow REST conventions..."

How do YOU handle this?

Do you:

  • Write a CLAUDE.md manually?
  • Paste context every session?
  • Use a specific prompt template?
  • Something else entirely?

I got tired of repeating myself and built LORE —
an MCP server that reads your codebase and
extracts these decisions automatically.

But curious what the community does.
What's your approach?
