To optimize for Claude (Anthropic), prioritize comprehensive "context maps" (like llms.txt), high-density technical documentation, and text-based structural clarity.
Claude excels at digesting massive amounts of context (200k+ tokens). It prefers a "Read the Docs" style structure over fragmented marketing copy.

💡 Key Difference: Unlike ChatGPT which browses frequently, Claude relies heavily on its vast context window. Feed it structure.
01. Implement /llms.txt (Critical)
The Context Map. Claude is optimized to look for an llms.txt
file at your root. This file should be a concatenated markdown representation of your core
documentation.
02. XML Tagging Structure
Explicit Delimiters. Claude follows instructions better when content is
wrapped in XML-style tags like <context>...</context> or
<data>...</data> within your markdown.
03. Constitutional Alignment
Safety & Helpfulness. Avoid manipulative language ("Clickbait"). Claude's "Constitutional AI" training penalizes content that appears deceptive or harmful. Adopt a neutral, academic tone.
