ClaudeTools harness ideas (the internal tooling itself, not client work) go in
`docs/CT_THOUGHTS.md` — the CT analogue of [[feedback_rmm_thoughts_backlog]]'s
RMM_THOUGHTS.md. Pipeline: thought (Status: Raw) -> discuss -> spec (`/shape-spec` or a
concept doc) -> roadmap -> build.

**Why:** keeps ClaudeTools-self ideas in one durable backlog instead of evaporating into
session logs; parallels the GuruRMM thought pipeline.
**How to apply:** when Mike/Howard say "ct thought: <idea>" / "add to ct thoughts" / "park
this as a ct thought", append it to `docs/CT_THOUGHTS.md` with who/when + a Status. Don't
build until an explicit go (per [[feedback_stream_of_thought_design]]). First entry =
ClaudeTools 3.0 web co-work vision (see [[project_ai_auth_product_boundary]] for its auth model).
