The system around the files.
Folder structure, session rules, write discipline, monthly rhythm. Your context is what fills it. The system is what keeps it working.
01. Extract Map what you know. Pull context out of your head into structured files.
02. Install Set it up where you work. Claude or ChatGPT Projects, or Cowork on retainer.
03. Tune Fix what's drifting. Close gaps, refine instructions, sharpen the system.
04. Compound Value builds on value. Each month starts with more context than the last.
Every chat
starts from zero.
You've used Claude. You've used ChatGPT. Every chat, you re-explain who you are, how your team works, what matters this week. The AI is capable. It just doesn't know you yet.
Until it doesn't.
Writing the files isn't enough. They calcify in weeks. Same AI, same subscription. The system around the files is what keeps them working.
Same AI · Same subscription · System keeps it workingHow this started.
I sit with founders and teams and build what's hard to build alone. Strategy, prototypes, AI systems. Recent work with 10team, VAISTO, and Moovmoor.
For a few years I did that work and walked away. The thinking lived in my head and a handful of decks. Then I started writing it down. Folders. Markdown files. Context structured so any AI could pick up where the founder left off.
Now I run that system with other founders.

Each engagement runs through the same sequence. Extract pulls context out. Install lands it where you work. Tune fixes drift. Compound is the part that pays for itself.
Phase 01
Extract
Map what you know. We pull your context out of your head and into structured files. Decisions, team structure, working patterns, voice.
Phase 02
Install
Set it up where you work. Context lands in Claude or ChatGPT Projects, or the full Cowork setup if you're on a retainer.
Phase 03
Tune
Fix what's drifting. Each session surfaces gaps. We close them by updating context files and refining instructions.
Phase 04
Compound
Value builds on value. Each month you start with more context than the month before. Not zero.

Projects vs. Cowork. Claude or ChatGPT Projects are bounded by task. Cowork compounds across time.
What's in the box.
The system is the product. Folder structure, session rules, write discipline, monthly rhythm. Six brain files hold your content. Project instructions boot the whole thing. The system is what makes it compound.
↗ The schema · 6 files + project instructions Live
File key 6 nodes
01. ME.md Who you are. How you think.
02. STYLE.md How you write. Voice rules.
03. DECISIONS What's been chosen and why.
04. WORK.md What's active right now.
05. CONTEXT Your situation. The setting.
06. CLAUDE.md Instructions for the agent.
Stage 01
You
Your knowledge, your decisions, your AI instructions. The context that's uniquely yours. How you think, what you care about, the things you always have to re-explain.
Stage 02
Your company
How decisions get made. What's been tried. The shared voice, the shared priorities. The context that lives in no single person.
Stage 03
Your team
How work moves between people. What each person knows. Shared context for handoffs, so nothing gets lost in the gap between chats.
What the retainer
actually does.
Each month is one working session, plus the work that follows. We extract what's changed since last time. New decisions, new team structure, new priorities. We update the context files. We tune what's drifting.
The retainer is also where the system grows. Setup installs your personal layer. Your company and team layers get built when the work demands them, not on a schedule.
The effect becomes visible after a few months. Each session starts with more context than the last. The system does not reset.
This isn't a check-in. It's how your work keeps building.
