How important are Claude.MD files when they don’t even describe (with concrete terms) what should even go into each one?

the fish: you can read about that here: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/best-practices#write-an-effe...

the fishing: 1) install the official `skill-creator`; 2) use that with the above link to create `claude-md-improver`; 3) improve the skill by tasking claude with researching the topic of `progressive-disclosure`, in the official docs; 4) point the new skill at you CLAUDE.md file and accept the changes

Seems crazy how they suggest a lightweight CLAUDE.md (shows 4 lines) but the /init command they suggest creates 100 lines of Markdown.
