Are you certain? My understanding was that this is automatically injected in the context, and in my experience that's how it worked. I never see 'ReadFile(claude.md)', and yet claude is aware of some conventions I put in there.
They’re mistaken. CLAUDE.md is always loaded into context, along with system prompts and memory files.

“CLAUDE.md files are loaded into the context window at the start of every session”
