name: Project Tracking description: System for tracking work across AI sessions. Use when starting or ending work sessions, managing initiatives, capturing ideas or todos, or when needing to understand what work is in progress. Handles knowledge transfer between sessions.

Project Tracking

A system for organizing work, maintaining continuity across AI sessions, and capturing knowledge.

Core Concepts

Initiatives

Multi-session efforts with a clear goal. Can be small (1-2 sessions) or large (weeks of work). Tracked through active → completed lifecycle.

Sessions

One focused work period within an initiative. Captures what happened, decisions made, and what's next.

Ideas

Quick capture for things that could be explored later. Not committed to.

Todos

Concrete tasks that should happen but don't warrant a full initiative.

Workspace Structure

All tracking lives in docs/workspace/:

Copydocs/workspace/
├── initiatives/
│   ├── active/          # Currently being worked on
│   ├── completed/       # Done, archived for reference
│   └── backlog/         # Planned but not started
├── ideas/               # Quick captures, exploratory
└── todos/               # Tasks, not big enough for initiative

Quick Reference

When to Use Each Reference

AI Navigation

Finding Context for Current Work

1. List docs/workspace/initiatives/active/
2. Read INITIATIVE.md for relevant initiative
3. Read recent sessions in sessions/ folder
4. Check for blockers or open questions

Updating After Work

1. Create session summary in initiative's sessions/ folder
2. Update INITIATIVE.md status section
3. Update completion criteria checkboxes
4. Note any blockers or next steps

Quick Captures

• Ideas: Create docs/workspace/ideas/[name].md
• Todos: Create docs/workspace/todos/[name].md

Keep these lightweight - a few sentences is fine.
