# CLAUDE Directory - LLM-Optimized Documentation

This directory is the **agent tree**: verbose, information-dense documentation
that owns the depth for every fact. The audience split (agent tree vs human
`docs/` tree) is defined in [DocumentationStrategy.md](DocumentationStrategy.md)
— the canonical documentation-SSoT ruleset.
