6464* **Your project.** Files in your directory and subdirectories, plus files elsewhere with your permission.
6565* **Your terminal.** Any command you could run: build tools, git, package managers, system utilities, scripts. If you can do it from the command line, Claude can too.
6666* **Your git state.** Current branch, uncommitted changes, and recent commit history.
67* **Your [CLAUDE.md](/docs/en/memory).** A markdown file where you store project-specific instructions, conventions, and context that Claude should know every session. If your repository has an AGENTS.md for other coding agents, Claude [can read that](/docs/en/memory#agents-md) on its own or alongside CLAUDE.md.
67* **Your [CLAUDE.md](/docs/en/memory).** A markdown file where you store project-specific instructions, conventions, and context that Claude should know every session. If your repository has an AGENTS.md for other coding agents, Claude [can read that](/docs/en/memory#agents-md) in place of a CLAUDE.md.
6868* **[Auto memory](/docs/en/memory#auto-memory).** Learnings Claude saves automatically as you work, like your preferences. The first 200 lines or 25KB of MEMORY.md, whichever comes first, load at the start of each session.
6969* **Extensions you configure.** [MCP servers](/docs/en/mcp) for external services, [skills](/docs/en/skills) for workflows, [subagents](/docs/en/sub-agents) for delegated work, and [Claude in Chrome](/docs/en/chrome) for browser interaction.
