Project Naming Conventions

• Use PascalCase for folder names: Projects/LearnSpanish/
• Keep names concise but descriptive
• Avoid special characters

Cascade Integration

Projects are the critical middle layer:

Goals/1. Yearly Goals.md     <- "What I want to achieve"
    |
    v
Projects/*/CLAUDE.md         <- "How I'll achieve it" (THIS SKILL)
    |
    v
Daily Notes/*.md             <- "What I'm doing today"

When creating tasks in daily notes, reference the project:

- [ ] Draft API spec — [[Projects/MyApp/CLAUDE.md|MyApp]]
