Am I misunderstanding "build inside your workspace"?
Subject: Am I misunderstanding "build inside your workspace"?
I'm working through "Building Your Stack" and stuck on something Jake says in lesson 1.1:
"Build inside your workspace. Don't create a separate folder. Build where your context already lives."
Right now, every time I start a new project, I create a new folder and ask Claude to use the ICM architecture to design it.
But based on this lesson, it sounds like I might be doing something wrong.
My current approach:
- New project = new folder
- Each folder gets its own CLAUDE.md and structure
- I reference ICM architecture in the setup
What I think Jake is saying (but not sure):
- Build tools and projects inside an existing workspace that already has context
- Don't spin up a new isolated folder every time
Questions:
- Is there a "main workspace" I should be building everything inside of?
- Should custom tools live alongside my regular AI work files, not in separate repos?
- Am I overthinking this, or am I actually setting things up wrong?
Would appreciate any clarity from people who've gotten this working.
