# Do Claude Project Instructions Carry Over to Every New Chat?

I’m trying to use a Claude Project for recurring work, but I’m unsure how consistently its instructions and uploaded reference files apply when I open a fresh chat inside the project.

Do **[Claude Project instructions](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/116867/how-does-claude-code-remember-project-instructions-across-a-session)** carry into every new conversation automatically, or are there cases where I need to restate the context? I’d also like to know how people organize project files when some guidance applies to every task and some is only relevant occasionally.
