Project‑specific Output Folders Streamline Context and Token Usage
In the spirit of keeping all project work self-contained, I modify the following structure by having an outputs folder for each project Instead of: ~/Claude-Workspace/ ├── context/ # Your standing context files ├── projects/ # Active project folders └── outputs/ # Where Claude delivers work I do this: ~/Claude-Workspace/ ├── context/ ├── projects/ ├── projects/project-alpha ├── projects/project-alpha/context ├── projects/project-alpha/outputs This manages context (and those precious tokens) better.

Define Task Scope to Crush Procrastination
