Files
Add files that are actually needed for the workflow: briefs, notes, source documents, decks, research, updates, screenshots, or records. Keep the source attached to the work it informs.
People
Connect relevant people, companies, clients, candidates, customers, founders, partners, or properties to the work. AI context is better when relationships are not separated from the record.
Work
Track current tasks, owners, open questions, handoffs, and next actions. The goal is not to replace a task manager; it is to keep the reason behind work available.
Decisions
Preserve approved direction, rejected paths, assumptions, and rationale. The next person or AI tool should know what was decided and why.
Start small
Build the context for one recurring workflow before adding more. Good Core usage is specific enough that the next output improves.
