Benefit

Find your work again, pick it up after days away, and handle several projects without mess, with a useful and minimal “second brain”.

By the end, you will be able to

  • write and maintain a short CLAUDE.md that really changes how the agent behaves;
  • keep a journal, project sheets and decisions without it becoming a chore;
  • view, correct or turn off automatic memory, without depending on it;
  • organize several projects and back up your work;
  • spot a setup that has become too heavy, and simplify it.

Demonstration

A messy workspace put back in order: CLAUDE.md shortened, journal and project sheets sorted, two projects kept separate, then a successful restart after a break.

Exercise and result

Your workspace organized with 2 projects, and a successful restart after at least 3 days without touching it.

The same principles (lasting instructions, notes, picking up again) apply to chatbots that offer projects or custom instructions: module 2 (lesson 5) and module 6 (lesson 4) show this, depending on the verified features of each tool.
