Cowork Toolkit: https://coworkacademy.ai/toolkit?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=shortform&utm_campaign=ig059
Your entire #ClaudeCowork setup starts with two plain text files.
CLAUDE.md is the instruction manual Cowork reads at the start of every session. Mine has a routing map that automatically loads my travel workstation when I start planning a trip, my email workstation when I'm drafting replies.
Every working mode gets its own instructions without me having to repeat anything.
MEMORY.md stores your active projects and key decisions between sessions. When I planned a trip to Taiwan, Cowork pulled up the specific visa application I needed because it remembered I had to fill one out last time.
Two files. That's the whole foundation.
