Yes. I have (as part of Claude output) a

- `FEATURE_IMPL_PLAN.md` (master plan; or `NEXT_FEATURES_LIST.md` or somesuch)

- `FEATURE_IMPL_PROMPT_TEMPLATE.md` (where I replace placeholders with next feature to be implemented; prompt includes various points about being thorough, making sure to validate and loop until full test pipeline works, to git version tag upon user confirmation, etc.)

- `feature-impl-plans/` directory where Claude is to keep per-feature detailed docs (with current status) up to date - this is esp. useful for complex features which may require multiple sessions for example

- also instruct it to keep main impl plan doc up to date, but that one is limited in size/depth/scope on purpose, not to overwhelm it

- CLAUDE.md has summary of important code references (paths / modules / classes etc.) for lookup, but is also restricted in size. But it includes full (up-to-date) inventory of all doc files, for itself

- If I end up expanding CLAUDE.md for some reason or temporarily (before I offload some content to separate docs), I will say as part of prompt template to "make sure to read in the whole @CLAUDE.md without skipping any content"
