An ideation workspace for generating new Claude Space concepts - using a Claude Space to brainstorm Claude Spaces.
A Claude Space is a version-controlled repository that functions as a miniaturized agentic workspace. It uses folder structure, system prompts (CLAUDE.md), slash commands, and sub-agents to create a focused environment for human-AI collaboration on specific domains or problems.
The core insight: a code repository's folder structure can serve as a simple, transparent, and portable way to manage AI context - no databases, embeddings, or complex infrastructure required.
See the-idea.md for a detailed explanation from the author on why this approach is uniquely powerful:
- Miniaturized agentic systems: A repository provides approximate boundaries for agents and humans to work within, achieving what otherwise requires complicated infrastructure
- Lightweight RAG: Using Markdown files as context provides a simple alternative to formal vectorization or retrieval-augmented generation at the prototype level
- Template-driven iteration: GitHub's template structure allows significant upfront investment in workflow design that can be reused as suitable projects arise
- Domain-agnostic: The pattern works equally for systems administration, code generation, technical writing, or entirely non-coding projects
- Version-controlled workflows: Git's history provides an instructive model for workflow management with applications far beyond software development
