The solution to this problem is as old as computers: it's a folder. Just use folders.

`cd` to a folder. Launch `claude`. Do your work. Save scripts and documentation in that folder. `/resume` previous conversations from that folder.

That's it. That's the trick.

Now, having very static, very well-defined folders helps a lot. I'm Johnny.Decimal so I have numbered folders for everything I do. So my process when I want to use my 'process a travel booking from my email to my calendar' script is:

- `jd tripsy`

  - The folder name includes 'tripsy' and this is how I remember it.

  - `jd` just parses my limited tree and `cd`s me to a folder.

  - `jd 21.15` gets me there by number if preferred.
- `claude`

- Say 'hey Claude, there's a new email in my inbox please'.

- Done.
