⚡ Claude Compass
Claude Compass
A structured system for working with Claude Code across client projects, internal work, and personal builds — built around Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Azure DevOps.
This guide documents a personal Claude Code workspace designed for a data and analytics consulting practice. The system gives Claude the right context at every level — global preferences, company standards, customer environments, and project specifics — without repeating anything anywhere.
Global Context
Writing style, preferences, and rules that apply in every session from every folder — never need restating.
Company Standards
Medallion architecture, repo structure, and delivery standards shared across every client engagement.
Project Precision
Customer environments, data models, and project scope — loaded exactly when and where Claude needs them.
Guide Sections
Folder Structure
The complete layout of your Claude workspace — from the global config under
~/.claude/ down to individual project repos. Covers the CLAUDE.md context cascade, which folders are stable vs ephemeral, and the re-clone workflow that keeps repos lightweight.

Global Rules
