Context Snippets

How Snippets Work

When a Claude agent starts, all enabled snippets for the project are concatenated and included in the system prompt. Claude sees them as project rules it must follow.

Create a snippet

Go to project settings and add a context snippet with a name and content.

Enable or disable

Toggle snippets on or off. Disabled snippets are saved but not included in prompts.

Claude reads them

Every agent session includes all active snippets as context.

Example Snippets

Code Style
Architecture
Git Conventions

Code Style Rules:
- Use TypeScript strict mode
- Prefer functional components with hooks
- Use named exports, not default exports
- Maximum file length: 300 lines

Architecture Rules:
- All API routes go in /src/routes/
- Business logic belongs in /src/services/
- Database queries go in /src/repositories/
- Never import from a sibling module's internals

Git Rules:
- Use conventional commit messages (feat:, fix:, refactor:)
- One logical change per commit
- Never commit .env files or secrets

Enable/Disable Toggle

Each snippet has an independent toggle. This lets you:

Temporarily disable a rule without deleting it

Keep a library of snippets and activate only the relevant ones

A/B test different instructions across task runs

Snippets are different from CLAUDE.md. Snippets are managed in the UI and injected by Claude Board. CLAUDE.md is a file in your repo that Claude reads directly.
