# Organization System Setup - COMPLETE **Date:** 2026-01-20 **Status:** All files organized, system configured for automatic placement --- ## What Was Done ### 1. Created Organized Folder Structure ``` D:\ClaudeTools/ ├── clients/ # CLIENT-SPECIFIC WORK │ ├── dataforth/ # Dataforth client folder (empty - files in projects) │ └── horseshoe-management/ # Horseshoe Management │ ├── CLIENT_INFO.md # Client info & issue history │ └── session-logs/ # Support session logs │ ├── projects/ # PROJECT-SPECIFIC WORK │ ├── dataforth-dos/ # Dataforth DOS Update System │ │ ├── batch-files/ # 17 .BAT files │ │ ├── deployment-scripts/ # 33 PowerShell scripts │ │ ├── documentation/ # 8 markdown docs │ │ ├── session-logs/ # DOS session logs │ │ └── PROJECT_INDEX.md # Complete project reference │ │ │ └── claudetools-api/ # ClaudeTools MSP API │ └── session-logs/ # API session logs │ ├── session-logs/ # GENERAL/CROSS-PROJECT LOGS │ └── YYYY-MM-DD-session.md # Mixed work sessions │ ├── .claude/ # CLAUDE CONFIGURATION │ ├── commands/save.md # Updated for project awareness │ ├── FILE_PLACEMENT_GUIDE.md # New placement rules │ └── CLAUDE.md # Updated with organization info │ ├── credentials.md # SHARED CREDENTIALS (root) ├── SESSION_STATE.md # OVERALL PROJECT STATE (root) └── PROJECT_ORGANIZATION.md # MASTER INDEX (root) ``` ### 2. Moved Existing Files to Correct Locations **Dataforth DOS Project (61 files organized):** - ✓ 17 batch files → `projects/dataforth-dos/batch-files/` - ✓ 33 deployment scripts → `projects/dataforth-dos/deployment-scripts/` - ✓ 8 documentation files → `projects/dataforth-dos/documentation/` - ✓ 1 session log → `projects/dataforth-dos/session-logs/2026-01-20-session.md` - ✓ 1 project index → `projects/dataforth-dos/PROJECT_INDEX.md` **Horseshoe Management Client:** - ✓ Client info created → `clients/horseshoe-management/CLIENT_INFO.md` - ✓ Glance/Intuit issue documented ### 3. Created Reference Documents **Master Documents:** 1. `PROJECT_ORGANIZATION.md` - Complete system overview 2. `.claude/FILE_PLACEMENT_GUIDE.md` - Detailed placement rules **Project-Specific:** 3. `projects/dataforth-dos/PROJECT_INDEX.md` - DOS project reference 4. `projects/dataforth-dos/session-logs/2026-01-20-session.md` - Complete session log **Client-Specific:** 5. `clients/horseshoe-management/CLIENT_INFO.md` - Client history ### 4. Updated Claude Configuration **Modified Files:** - `.claude/commands/save.md` - Now project-aware - `.claude/CLAUDE.md` - References new organization - File placement rules integrated --- ## How It Works Now ### When Creating New Files Claude will automatically determine where to save based on context: **Working on Dataforth DOS?** - Batch files → `projects/dataforth-dos/batch-files/` - Scripts → `projects/dataforth-dos/deployment-scripts/` - Docs → `projects/dataforth-dos/documentation/` - Session log → `projects/dataforth-dos/session-logs/` **Helping a Client?** - Updates → `clients/[client-name]/CLIENT_INFO.md` - Session log → `clients/[client-name]/session-logs/` **Mixed/General Work?** - Session log → `session-logs/` (root) **ClaudeTools API Development?** - Code → `api/`, `migrations/` (existing structure) - Session log → `projects/claudetools-api/session-logs/` ### When Using `/save` Command The command now: 1. Determines which project/client you're working on 2. Saves to appropriate `session-logs/` folder 3. Includes all credentials, commands, decisions 4. Updates relevant index files ### Context Recovery When Claude needs previous context: 1. **By Project:** Check `projects/[project]/PROJECT_INDEX.md` 2. **By Client:** Check `clients/[client]/CLIENT_INFO.md` 3. **By Date:** Check appropriate `session-logs/YYYY-MM-DD-session.md` 4. **Infrastructure:** Check `credentials.md` (root) --- ## Benefits ### For You - **Faster Context Recovery:** Files in predictable locations - **Better Organization:** No more searching root directory - **Client History:** All client work documented together - **Project Focus:** Each project has complete reference ### For Claude - **Automatic Placement:** Knows where to save files - **Quick Searches:** Can look in specific project folders - **Better Context:** Project-specific session logs - **Consistent Structure:** Same pattern for all projects --- ## Quick Reference ### Find Dataforth DOS Info ``` projects/dataforth-dos/PROJECT_INDEX.md ``` ### Find Horseshoe Management History ``` clients/horseshoe-management/CLIENT_INFO.md ``` ### Find Today's Session Work ``` # If working on Dataforth DOS: projects/dataforth-dos/session-logs/2026-01-20-session.md # If general work: session-logs/2026-01-20-session.md ``` ### Find Infrastructure Credentials ``` credentials.md (root - search for server/service name) ``` ### Understand Organization System ``` PROJECT_ORGANIZATION.md (master index) .claude/FILE_PLACEMENT_GUIDE.md (detailed rules) ``` --- ## File Placement Quick Guide | What You're Creating | Where It Goes | |---------------------|---------------| | DOS .BAT file | `projects/dataforth-dos/batch-files/` | | DOS deployment script | `projects/dataforth-dos/deployment-scripts/` | | DOS documentation | `projects/dataforth-dos/documentation/` | | DOS session log | `projects/dataforth-dos/session-logs/` | | Client support notes | `clients/[client]/session-logs/` | | API code | `api/`, `migrations/` (existing) | | API session log | `projects/claudetools-api/session-logs/` | | General session log | `session-logs/` (root) | | Shared credentials | `credentials.md` (root) | --- ## Examples of Proper Placement ### Example 1: Fixed NWTOC.BAT Bug ``` New file: NWTOC.BAT v2.5 Location: projects/dataforth-dos/batch-files/NWTOC.BAT New file: deploy-nwtoc-fix.ps1 Location: projects/dataforth-dos/deployment-scripts/deploy-nwtoc-fix.ps1 New file: NWTOC_FIX.md Location: projects/dataforth-dos/documentation/NWTOC_FIX.md Session log: 2026-01-20-session.md Location: projects/dataforth-dos/session-logs/2026-01-20-session.md ``` ### Example 2: Helped Horseshoe Management with Glance ``` Updated: CLIENT_INFO.md Location: clients/horseshoe-management/CLIENT_INFO.md Session log: 2026-01-20-session.md Location: clients/horseshoe-management/session-logs/2026-01-20-session.md ``` ### Example 3: Added ClaudeTools API Endpoint ``` New file: new_router.py Location: api/routers/new_router.py (existing structure) New file: migration Location: migrations/versions/xxx_add_table.py Session log: 2026-01-20-session.md Location: projects/claudetools-api/session-logs/2026-01-20-session.md ``` --- ## Maintenance ### Update Index Files After: - Creating new project → Add to PROJECT_ORGANIZATION.md - Major file additions → Update project's PROJECT_INDEX.md - Client interactions → Update client's CLIENT_INFO.md ### Monthly Cleanup: - Review root directory for misplaced files - Move files to correct locations - Update file counts in indexes --- ## Success Metrics **Before Organization:** - 61 DOS files scattered in root directory - No client-specific folders - One general session-logs folder - Hard to find specific project context **After Organization:** - All 61 DOS files in `projects/dataforth-dos/` - Client folders with history - Project-specific session logs - Clear separation of concerns - Easy context recovery --- ## Next Steps **System is ready!** Claude will now automatically: 1. Save files to correct project/client folders 2. Create session logs in appropriate locations 3. Update index files as needed 4. Maintain organized structure **You can:** - Continue working as normal - Use `/save` command (now project-aware) - Reference `PROJECT_ORGANIZATION.md` anytime - Trust files will be in predictable locations --- **Organization Status:** ✓ COMPLETE **Claude Configuration:** ✓ UPDATED **File Placement:** ✓ AUTOMATIC **Context Recovery:** ✓ OPTIMIZED All future work will be automatically organized by project and client!
