# Setup Claude Briefs Creates the Briefs project management structure in the current project. Briefs is a lightweight system for managing focus across sessions - for both humans and LLMs. ## What This Creates A briefs directory with four files: - **CURRENT.md** - The heart of the system. One active task: context, planned approach, task list, session log. - **BACKLOG.md** - The larger project plan: up next, blocked, backlog, done. - **PROGRESS.md** - The long-term memory. Completed tasks with backstory and decisions. Written only by `/briefs-done`. - **NOTES.md** - Technical notes, gotchas, and references that outlive any single task. The lifecycle that maintains them: `/briefs-plan` (settle the approach) → `/briefs-work` (execute, repeatable sessions) → user reviews and commits → `/briefs-done` (review against plan, archive, reset). `/briefs-health` audits when things feel muddled. ## Steps **1. Ask where to put the briefs folder** Ask: "Where should I create the briefs folder?" Present two options: - **With this project** - creates `.briefs/` in the project root. Suggest adding `.briefs/` to `.gitignore` (these are working notes, not source code). - **Somewhere else** - user provides an absolute path. Good for people who keep notes in Obsidian, a shared docs folder, or anywhere outside the repo. **2. Create the directory** ```bash mkdir -p <chosen-path> ``` **3. Save the path** Create `.claude/briefs-path` containing the absolute path to the briefs folder. This le
