Best Practices for Managing Separate CLAUDE.md Files Across Workspaces

Do you keep separate CLAUDE md files for each workspace to prevent them from becoming too long or unfocused?

For example, would you maintain one CLAUDE md for a Content Creator workspace and another for a Software Developer workspace?

If so, how do you handle situations where the work overlaps between workspaces? For instance, if the Software Developer workspace creates a new app, but then you want the Content Creator workspace to write a social media post promoting that app, where should the shared context live?

Curious how others structure this in practice.
