The Full Stack¶

Skills used: ALL OF THEM

The complete workflow. Every skill in its place. From project kickoff to daily work to persistent knowledge.

Day 0: Project Setup¶

Load your standards¶

/strict

Every session starts here. Non-negotiable. The 11 rules are loaded and Claude applies them to everything.

Onboard the codebase¶

/forge

FORGE reads the entire project, generates a CLAUDE.md with architecture, patterns, conventions. Claude now understands your codebase at a structural level.

Research unknowns¶

/recall [your tech stack]          # Check existing knowledge first
/recon [topic you need to learn]   # Deep research if needed

Build your knowledge base from day one. Every research session compounds.

Day 1+: The Daily Flow¶

Start of session¶

/portal open yesterday

Context restored. You know where you were, what you decided, what's next.

Making decisions¶

For big decisions:

/conclave [the question]     # Get 9 perspectives
/mirror [the recommendation] # Stress-test it
/echo create [decision-name] # Record it

For smaller decisions:

/mirror [the approach]       # Quick stress-test
/echo create [decision-name] # Record it

When you're stuck¶

/spark [the problem]         # Divergent thinking — find the non-obvious

When you need research¶

/recall [topic]              # Check knowledge base first
/recon [topic]               # Full research if needed

Long-running tasks¶

/notify "Build Complete" "Ready for review" --choices "Review Now" "Later"

Claude taps you on the shoulder when it's done.

End of session¶

/echo create [any-decisions-made]  # Capture reasoning
/portal create eod                 # Save everything

The Flywheel¶

Here's what happens over time:

RECON fills the knowledge base
RECALL makes lookups instant
ECHO records decisions with reasoning
PORTAL preserves session context
FORGE documents each project

Every session adds to the system. Every future session benefits from everything that came before. Knowledge accumulates. Decisions are documented. Context persists.

You don't just get better at using Claude. Claude gets better at helping you.

Minimum Viable Workflow¶

Not ready for the full stack? Start with three:

STRICT — load at session start
PORTAL — save at session end
ECHO — record big decisions

Add the rest as the habits form. The foundation matters most.

This is the way.
