AI RAG App CLAUDE.md template

Retrieval-augmented-generation app with a vector store, evals, and cost/safety guardrails.

TailorMD turns this project type into tailored AI context — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, Cursor rules, and optional skill files — in about 60 seconds. Pick your stack choices in the form below, preview the output live, and copy or download a zip. No API key required.

The AI RAG App recipe encodes opinionated folder maps, non-negotiables, and ship checklists for ai, rag, llm, vector-search projects. Your coding assistant reads these files before every task, so it follows your conventions instead of generic advice. Re-run the generator when your stack changes.

Every generated file is plain Markdown you own. Drop CLAUDE.md at the repo root so Claude Code and compatible tools load it automatically. Add AGENTS.md when you run multi-step agent workflows. Cursor rules land in .cursor/rules with globs scoped to this project type so the editor picks up conventions without polluting unrelated files.

Optional skill files under .claude/skills give your assistant repeatable review and ship checklists — useful when you want consistent pre-merge verification without writing the same prompt every time. Whether you are starting a greenfield repo or standardizing context across a team, the AI RAG App recipe gives your AI a durable project brief.

Use the web generator for a live preview and one-click zip, or scaffold from the terminal with npx tailormd init. Pro recipes require TailorMD Pro; free recipes need no account.

Frequently asked questions

What stack does the AI RAG App recipe cover?

It focuses on ai, rag, llm, vector-search. Configure your specific tools in the form — project name, framework choices, deploy target, and package manager — and the generated files reference your selections.

Do I need an API key?

No. TailorMD generates Markdown files on the website or via the CLI. You use those files in Claude Code, Cursor, or whatever assistant you already run — billing for the assistant itself is separate.

Can I edit the generated files?

Yes. All output is plain Markdown. TailorMD gives you a strong starting point; tweak names, commands, and conventions to match your repo. Re-run the generator anytime your stack changes.

How is this different from a generic CLAUDE.md template?

The AI RAG App recipe encodes opinionated conventions for this project type — folder maps, non-negotiables, and ship checklists — not generic AI advice copied from a blog post.
