Your First Real Conversation
With your vault open and CLAUDE.md in place, try these prompts:
“What projects am I working on?”
Claude will read your 02 Projects folder and summarise what it finds. If you’ve only got the newsletter note from Module 1, it’ll tell you that.
“Summarise what I’ve been thinking about this week.” Claude will look at recent notes and pull out themes. Early on there won’t be much — that’s fine. The point is seeing that it can.
“What should I focus on today?” This one is where the system starts showing its value. Claude will look at your projects, your recent notes, and your stated priorities and give you a grounded answer — not generic advice, but something based on what’s actually in your vault.
These conversations feel different from ChatGPT or Gemini. The AI isn’t making up a generic answer. It’s reading your actual files and responding to what’s there. That’s the foundation of the co-operating system.
Before moving on:
- Claude Code installed and authenticated
- CLAUDE.md created with your context
- At least one conversation completed about your vault contents
This module evolves as your system does.
