Every layer builds on the one below. Without structure, Claude can only do what you tell it in the moment. With structure, it already knows.

Layer 1 — Hooks
Automated guardrails
Shell scripts that run before or after every tool use. Set them once and forget them. Claude can't break things it shouldn't touch.
PreToolUse — fires before Claude runs anything
bash-safety.sh
Blocks
git commit, rm -rf, force push, and reset --hard before they run. Claude hits a wall instead of destroying work.file-protection.sh
Blocks any edit to
.env and credentials files. Warns before touching CLAUDE.md, MEMORY.md, or settings.json.file-backup.sh
Copies every file to
~/.claude/backups/ before Claude edits it. Keeps last 10 versions. Every edit is reversible.search-year.sh
Detects if a web search query is missing a year and auto-appends the current one. Claude always searches for 2026 content, not 2023.
PostToolUse — fires after Claude finishes
file-logger.sh
Logs every file write or edit to a daily changelog at
~/.claude/changes-YYYY-MM-DD.log. Full audit trail of what Claude touched.Stop — fires when Claude finishes a session
stop-notify.sh
Plays a macOS Glass sound and sends a desktop notification when Claude finishes. No more checking if it's done. And a different Funk sound plays immediately when Claude needs your approval.
Layer 0 — PARA Foundation
The folder structure
Claude can navigate any client, any context, any question, because every file follows the same structure. The structure comes first. The AI leverage comes after.

Layer 0 — Persistent Memory
What Claude knows every session
Two files that load at the start of every session. One defines the rules. One holds the state. Together they replace the 30-40 minutes you'd otherwise spend re-orienting yourself.
CLAUDE.md
The Project Constitution
- Loaded at the start of every Claude Code session
- Defines who you are, how you think, how Claude should work with you
- Includes: business model, ICP, client structure, tools, preferences
- Per-project. Each project can have its own CLAUDE.md
- Keep it under 200 lines. Anything longer stops being read consistently
- Best structure: 3 sections. What the project is, domain context, how to validate changes
MEMORY.md
Cross-Session State
- Claude doesn't remember last session by default. This file does
- Holds: client status, key decisions, blockers, preferences that evolved
- Updated every session as context changes
- Current entries: client status, MCP setup, tool rules, agent limitations
- Lives at project level. Scoped to this second brain
- The thing most people skip that makes everything else 10x more useful
The morning question
"what happened with [client] this week? any blockers? what should i send them today?"
Claude reads the Slack channel, the progress file, the communication log — drafts a summary and suggests the next message. The whole thing takes 90 seconds. Because every piece of context it needs is already in the right place.
