Urgency of outcomes versus urgency of action
Recently had a meeting with Claude to discuss just some thoughts. I find these really beneficial for clarity purposes, and this one especially I think is going to benefit quite a few people. So have a look and let me know what you think!

@Josh Harper So true ✨
Do you write your md files from scratch?
Just curious, does everyone write your md files from scratch? Or do you ask claude to help you write, by giving it information? And can I say that the recommendation is to have md files lesser than 150 lines?

All of mine are with Claude only - I only edit if the outcomes are sub par. I basically use MD files as the "brains" - like skills but more malleable. What is it that the purpose of the MD files you create are for?
Folder structure vs Obsidian
Hi everyone, I feel like the hype around “Obsidian second brain” is not important as a good folder/file structure going through the class lessons here but everywhere I turn someone is yelling “second brain” this and that. I am here to ask if Obsidian really does enhance anything particularly, asides from looking cool?… AI Performance? AI reasoning? or Is it just a duplication ? If anyone can help. I don’t wanna go down the hole… too many things to learn. 😅

@Pedro Costa yeah I think that's a great clarification. I've been wondering this and looking around and honestly I find that just having a file system really works the best. Even trying to create a second brain is difficult because that structure changes. You may spend time creating a database in a full system of planning and executing, but then what if that system changes? What if you then start using different tools and different people are involved? So much can change so it's a delicate balance that you have to find

@Pedro Costa I'd be interested to hear your opinion on whether you've used Notion as well. I haven't actually used Obsidian yet. I've worked on quite a couple of in-depth projects that require a lot of data system memory and cross-coordination between different agents, etc. I have some very light syncing mechanisms with Notion to take to-do lists and educate all the agents about them and have cross-syncing mechanisms, but I have never really delved into Obsidian. Is there really that much that Obsidian can do that Notion can't, that's not super in-depth?
< 2 Minute Sidequest: Rant-Question
Anyone else here over-think and get annoyed with the language we use in our everyday? Today, i'm thinking specifically about - AI: artificial intelligence. Originally, i wrote a whole rant overexplaining myself on my stance, but who really wants to read an essay about it. And, we're all AI nerds. We get it. Thesis: We stop calling AI artificial intelligence and begin calling it Assisted Intelligence. (and so thinking of it as such - subconsciously, through the use of language) Or at least that's how i'm going to be translating AI in my mind. Assisted intelligence to get shit done. (with folders & files - not rocket science) Somehow it removes a tiny bit of friction from the whole drama that is AI right now. Anyone else have thoughts? (also i'm sure someone on the internet already posited this same thought, because of course someone has. am sharing this without referencing to perhaps serve as a welcome distraction in our pursuits, hope you're having a nice day!)

100%, I see where you're coming from. It is just an assistance tool used for people who know how to use it. Those who use AI to learn rather than AI to do it are the power users and those who are going to get the most benefit. I think my stance on it is to keep it quiet and let those who are clueless stay clueless. At the end of the day we all learn about this stuff from having our own intrigue in it and then being receptive to the correct information that has led to our stance. It is down to others to recognize the value in it and not perceive it as the wrong way
Claude Projects doesn't accept folders
Claude Projects doesn't accept folders, only files. So the usual ICM layout (CLAUDE.md at root, /protocols, /reference, /templates, /examples) won't upload as is. What I did: - Flattened everything into a single folder. Renamed each file with its folder as a prefix, e.g. protocols/guardrails.md became protocols_guardrails.md. Keeps the origin visible in the filename. - Updated every internal reference inside the files so the File Map and cross-links point to the new flat names. - Pasted the body of CLAUDE.md into the Project's Custom Instructions field. CLAUDE.md has no special status in Projects (unlike Claude Code), so the orchestration rules need to live in the instructions box to actually govern behaviour. - Uploaded the other files as Project knowledge. Done. The File Map still works as a routing index. Early days but the structure holds. BEFORE: ├── CLAUDE.md ├── CONTEXT.md ├── protocols/ │ ├── protocols_guardrails.md │ ├── protocols_de-identification.md │ └── protocols_voice-guide.md ├── templates/ │ └── templates_All_Letters_Templates.md ├── references/ │ ├── reference_Work_Flow_Chart.md │ ├── reference_NOTES_TEMPLATE.md │ └── reference_NOTES_EXAMPLE.md └── examples/ ├── examples_CUSTOMER_LETTER_EXAMPLE_1.md ├── examples_CUSTOMER_LETTER_EXAMPLE_2.md └── examples_LETTER_FOLLOWING_CONSULTATION.md AFTER to work and reference within CLAUDE Project: ├── CLAUDE.md (pasted into INSTRUCTIONS) ├── CONTEXT.md ├── protocols_guardrails.md ├── protocols_de-identification.md ├── protocols_voice-guide.md ├── templates_All_Letters_Templates.md ├── reference_Work_Flow_Chart.md ├── reference_NOTES_TEMPLATE.md ├── reference_NOTES_EXAMPLE.md ├── examples_CUSTOMER_LETTER_EXAMPLE_1.md ├── examples_CUSTOMER_LETTER_EXAMPLE_2.md └── examples_LETTER_FOLLOWING_CONSULTATION.md

Isn't a filesystem MCP the way to go? Or, as an intermediate, I basically create a scripts which creates MAP.txt (the full in-depth fold map of the whole file system) Then I "prime" a new claude.ai chat with the updated map as part of a priming script.

@Daniela Capon I've got friends involved in that niche - so I've been in and around it but never really myself. Feel Free to shoot me a DM, if be more than happy to connect / hop on a call.
