This might be a dumb question but what exactly are the practical benefits of taking the folder based approach? Does it provide more efficient use of tokens, more consistent results? How can we demonstrate this so we can sell this idea to others? I tried creating a sample home page using the folder based approach versus standard claude.ai but couldn't really see a big difference.

Twenty-four days ago I posted about Jake's folder system video. This is what happened next. Same foundation — markdown files, orchestration prompts, clear roles. I just kept building. Fifteen named specialists. Each one with a soul file, guardrails, and a playbook. Duke orchestrates. Cash writes. Trace pulls the data. Hank runs the financials. Clint handles the MCP integrations. Behind each one is either a human counterpart doing the real work alongside them — or a role I can't afford to hire yet. Katie who's been with me for 18 years, now has her own orchestrator running the same system. Twenty-seven client folders. Twelve live MCP integrations. One shared repo. The folder system isn't replacing my agency. It becoming my agency. Jake gave me the unlock. This is how it's going.

At work we have strict rules around AI and for a long time I thought it would never be possible to get access to tools like Claude. In my personal life I've been using AI for a while now mainly to help me build Power Automate flows. I'm not technical but I know what I want and I've built a lot in SharePoint that helps me do my job. A few months ago I hit a wall. I kept having to explain to AI who I was and what I wanted every single time. I was done with it. Online there was so much going on that it felt like I was missing everything. Then a video from Jake showed up on Instagram. I scrolled past it twice. The third time I watched it. It was about the folder structure he used. I could see what he was building but I had no idea if it would actually work for me. After one week the results were way better than I expected. And it keeps getting better. Back to work. I wanted to find out what AI options were actually available within our company. So I showed my work to a few people. Turns out the company has a dedicated AI team already working with Claude. I didn't even know that. They told me I was further ahead than most people and that they loved seeing that I had picked up the folder structure the way I did. That is what convinced them. Only a few people in our entire organization have access to that environment. And now I'm one of them. Really happy about this 🚀🏆
