Before and after
A normal chat can’t see your notes, so it can’t tell you what you’re waiting on. I gave Claude the sample notes from this folder and asked:
What should I do this week for my winter menu, and what am I waiting on?
It answered from the notes and named the note behind each fact:
This week, get Jordan Lee’s winter prices and test your 3 new recipes. ...
Email Jordan for the winter price list. Jordan answers email faster than phone calls. (Jordan Lee)
It also said where it was unsure, and it asked before moving a line between notes. The “AI Rules” file in the folder makes it work that way. I run my own notes the same way, in How I gave Claude Code memory without a vector DB.
