@Aditya Jade Most of the time, this method is used for long-term projects, not just short chats, so using VS Code instead of notes apps has a few practical advantages. 1. When the project grows, you usually end up with multiple context files, reference files, configs, and code files. VS Code makes it easy to manage and navigate a real project structure, while notes apps are not designed for that. 2. Markdown + project context works better in an editor. VS Code handles markdown cleanly, shows previews, and keeps everything inside the same workspace as the code. That makes it easier to keep context files, source code, and documentation in sync. 3. Tools like Claude Code, terminals, and git all run inside VS Code. If your context files live in the same folder as your code, the AI can read them directly and use them as part of the project, which is not possible if they are in a notes app. 4. In larger projects, the AI won’t always load every file. It may choose specific files based on the task, so having a proper folder structure makes it easier to control what context is used. 5. Most people using this workflow are building real projects. Because of that, they are already working inside an editor like VS Code, so keeping context files in the project folder is the most natural setup.

Used claude to better structure my context and reference file, but this is what it is as for now

Hi, Manan here from India. 18 year old, 1st year university as a Applied Math and Computer Science student. I have always wanted to ease my life and studies, so i switched from ChatGPT to Claude and have been diving even deeper. Your folder structure bought me here and i would like to create my own ones.
