Anthropic's Claude AI uses .md files for skills, memory, and routines

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article explains how Anthropic's Claude AI utilizes various .md files to manage tasks and information, going beyond the basic CLAUDE.md file. These files, including folder notes, skills, slash commands, subagents, memory notes, and other documents, are accessed by Claude based on when the information is needed for a specific task. Skills, for instance, act as routines for particular jobs, with Claude only keeping a list of skill names on its desk until a request matches one, at which point it accesses the full steps. AI
