Personal Workspace

Karthik's personal knowledge base and project workspace. This directory serves as an organized repository for information, research, and projects.

Folder Organization System

Every topic gets its own folder. When Karthik asks about a topic (devices, travel, recipes, finances, etc.), create or use an appropriate category folder. Each folder contains:

• A CLAUDE.md describing the folder's purpose and contents
• Individual files for specific topics (e.g., airpods-pro.md, macbook-m4.md)
• A .claude/ directory if the folder needs its own memory/context

Naming Conventions

• Folders: kebab-case category names (e.g., electronics/, travel/, health/)
• Files: kebab-case descriptive names (e.g., airpods-pro-2.md, tokyo-trip-2026.md)
• Always lowercase

Folder Categories (create as needed)

Examples of category folders to create when relevant topics come up:

• electronics/ - Devices, gadgets, accessories
• travel/ - Trips, destinations, itineraries
• projects/ - Side projects, ideas, specs
• finance/ - Budgets, subscriptions, investments
• health/ - Fitness, nutrition, medical
• learning/ - Courses, books, notes
• recipes/ - Food and cooking
• home/ - Home setup, furniture, smart home
• vehicles/ - Cars, maintenance logs
• subscriptions/ - Services, SaaS, memberships

Existing Projects

• site/ - Personal website (Next.js, legacy)
• site-karthik/ - Personal website (SvelteKit, active redesign)

Auto-Save & Commit

• Always auto-save research and discussion findings to the appropriate category folder. Never ask — just do it.
• Always commit and push after saving. Every file save should be followed by a git commit and push.
• Never ask "want me to save this?" or "should I commit/push?" — the answer is always yes.

Git

This workspace is tracked at imkarthikk/personal-claude (private). Commit regularly to preserve knowledge.
