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

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)

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

Discussion:

Drive toward concrete decisions

Closing:

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