Claude Code Workflows
Starting a Project
Create a new project called [name] in 01_Projects.
Set it up with the standard folder structure.
I'm in thinking mode - help me define objectives.
Project Research
I'm working on [project name].
Search my vault for relevant existing notes.
What connections exist to my other work?
Daily Progress
Create a progress note for today in [project]/Daily_Progress.
Here's what I accomplished: [summary]
Questions that came up: [list]
Project Status
Review all notes in [project folder].
What's the current status?
What are the key insights so far?
What's left to complete?
Project Completion
Project [name] is complete.
Create a retrospective covering:
- Objectives vs outcomes
- Key learnings
- What to do differently next time
Then help me archive it properly.
Project Lifecycle
- Initiation: Define objectives, success criteria
- Research: Gather relevant information
- Development: Daily progress, iterative work
- Review: Regular status checks
- Completion: Final output, retrospective
- Archive: Move to 04_Archive with summary
Tips for Success
- Start with clear objectives - Vague projects never end
- Use the template - Consistency helps Claude Code help you
- Log progress daily - Even "no progress" is worth noting
- Review weekly - Keep projects on track
- Complete or kill - Don't let projects linger
When to Archive
Move projects to 04_Archive/ when:
- All objectives are complete
- The project is cancelled
- It's been inactive for 30+ days
- It's transformed into an Area (ongoing)
Always create a summary note before archiving!
