File Naming Rules

Numbering: Sequential numbering across all documentation (01, 02, 03... 99)

Each number is assigned once and never reused
New documents get the next available number
Deleted documents don't free up their numbers
Exception: discussions/ folder uses date-based naming (see below)

Name format: {number}-{kebab-case-description}.md

Examples: 01-market-positioning.md, 15-launch-strategy.md
Exceptions: Master files (CLAUDE.md, INDEX.md, ROADMAP.md, README.md)

Discussions folder format: YYYY-MM-DD-{kebab-case-topic}.md

Examples: 2025-10-19-initial-strategic-session.md, 2025-11-15-pricing-review.md
Discussions are excluded from cross-project numbering
Chronological sorting by date for session history

Status in document header:

✅ Validated - confirmed through research/data
🔄 In Progress - actively being executed
⏳ Pending - awaiting prerequisites
🔮 Future - planned but not started
📝 Living - continuously updated

🔧 WORKFLOW: HOW TO WORK WITH DOCUMENTS

Session Initialization

Step 1: Read 3 mandatory files (in this order):

ROADMAP.md - current priorities and active sprint
INDEX.md - document map and quick links
CLAUDE.md - this file for understanding structure

Step 2: For specific discussion:

Read relevant documents from INDEX.md
If documents contain cross-links - read related docs
Dive deeper into details as needed

Step 3: After discussion:

Decide: create NEW document OR update existing
Save key conclusions/decisions in appropriate file
Update INDEX.md and ROADMAP.md if needed

Discussion Workflow Format

Opening:

Read mandatory files (ROADMAP, INDEX, CLAUDE)
Read relevant docs for discussion topic
Confirm understanding of context and goal
Begin discussion

Discussion:

Provide specific, actionable advice
Base recommendations on data from existing docs
Challenge assumptions when needed
Drive toward concrete decisions

Closing:

Summarize key decisions
Define action items
Create/update documents
Update INDEX.md and ROADMAP.md

Creating New Documents

Template header:

# Document Title

**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD  
**Version:** X.X  
**Status:** Draft / Working / Final / Deprecated  
**Related docs:** [links]

[Content]

---
**Last updated:** YYYY-MM-DD  
**Next review:** [when]

Where to save:

Strategic decisions → strategy/
Plans and execution → execution/
Session summaries → discussions/
Future ideas → backlog/

After creation:

Assign next available number
Add to INDEX.md
Cross-link with relevant docs
Update ROADMAP.md if affects priorities

📋 COMMANDS

`/review` - Preparation before answering

What it does:

Reads ROADMAP.md for priority context
Scans INDEX.md for relevant documents
Reads 2-3 most relevant docs
Summarizes key insights
Answers question with full context

When to use: Before strategic questions

`/sum` - Create summary after discussion

What it does:

Analyzes conversation history
Extracts key decisions, insights, action items
Checks INDEX.md: is there a related document?
Decides: create NEW doc OR update existing
Saves document to appropriate folder
Updates INDEX.md (if new doc)
Updates ROADMAP.md (if action items exist)

Where to save:

Strategic session summary → discussions/YYYY-MM-DD-{topic}.md (date-based, no number)
New strategic decision → strategy/{number}-{topic}.md
Execution plan → execution/{number}-{topic}.md
Future idea → backlog/{number}-{topic}.md

When to use: At the end of each significant discussion
