πŸ“š Keep documentation close to the design/code

I find it works best to keep documentation as close to the code or design files as possible. There are several benefits:

  • You can update, commit, and review documentation as part of the standard working process (pull requests, CI, etc.)
  • You can use tools you are already using (like your favorite editor)
  • It encourages the use of Markdown (the format AI works with)
  • Claude Code, which you run from your working directory, has access to it. This has always been important, but with AI tools, it is even more importantβ€”more on that in future.
