I'm curious what everyone here likes to do for fun (of course building stuff with Claude is fun too lol), and if you've applied any AI to your hobby. For me it's been super useful for DND planning and I find I get to stay in creative flow more. Curious what other people are doing

Background first — because how this came together matters more than the file itself. --- ## The problem I kept running into Every time I started a Claude Code session, I was re-explaining everything. Who I am. What I’m building. What matters. What not to touch. Session after session. The context would bloat. The model would drift. And I’d end up managing the AI instead of working with it. I thought the fix was a better prompt. It wasn’t. --- ## What @Ari Evergreen showed me Ari introduced me to the dispatch pattern. Instead of relying on chat history, you write a brief to disk before the session starts. The brief is the contract. The worker (Claude) opens it cold, executes, and returns a result. No shared history. No “as we discussed.” No hidden context. Her work on: - structured briefs - worker isolation - and the cold-start rule completely changed how I think about AI. The cold-start rule was the shift: > If the brief cannot stand alone, it is not finished. --- ## What @JakeVanClief framework gave me Here I learned to think in systems instead of prompts. - `CLAUDE.md` → navigation hub - `CONTEXT.md` → live project state - `REFERENCE.md` → stable lookups Three files. That’s enough for any new session to orient itself quickly, without scanning everything. That’s the foundation. --- ## The realization These aren’t different ideas. They’re the same idea at different scales. - A worker sandbox is a dispatch worker - A context file is a routing layer - A system architecture is just structured dispatch Once that clicked, the gap became obvious. --- ## So I built the missing layer A bootstrap file. One markdown file that sits at the top of a project and does what neither system does on its own: It aligns: - the worker model - the architecture - and the rules **before any work begins** --- ## What it actually does Drop it into a project, and Claude:
