How to organize Claude Code for product work

The author outlines a system for organizing Claude Code workspaces to improve productivity for product managers and other context-heavy roles. The approach emphasizes structured filing and reusable 'skills' over simple prompt engineering.
Why it matters
As AI coding tools become more prevalent, developing systematic workflows for managing context is becoming a critical skill for knowledge workers.
My Claude Code workspace for my product job is a folder with almost no code in it. It holds a context folder with everything about the company: the product, the users, the competitors, how I like to work. One folder per project, with the tasks separated from the deliverables. A set of skills that each do one recurring piece of work: the status update, the PRD review, the interview synthesis. When I give feedback once, it lands in a file with a note on why, and I never give that feedback again. I didn’t design this system. I arrived at it, mostly by getting it wrong first.
