ContextLoom is a Markdown editor designed for organizing project context. Claude Workstation workspaces are fully compatible with ContextLoom.
Claude Workstation scaffolds the vault structure (folder taxonomy, naming conventions, file format rules). ContextLoom provides a visual editor for browsing, creating, and linking context documents within that structure.
The vault folder taxonomy matches ContextLoom's recommended layout:
| Folder | Purpose |
|---|---|
00_inbox/ |
Unsorted notes, quick captures |
01_specs/ |
Requirements, PRDs, feature specs |
02_architecture/ |
System design, technical specs |
03_decisions/ |
Architectural Decision Records |
04_knowledge/ |
Reusable concepts, reference material |
05_prompts/ |
LLM prompts, prompt templates |
06_agents/ |
Agent roles, rules, memory |
07_diagrams/ |
Mermaid diagrams, visuals |
08_todos/ |
Task lists, backlogs |
Both tools expect:
- UTF-8 Markdown (
.md) files only # Titleheading at the top of each file- Relative Markdown links between documents
- Small, composable files (one topic per file)
- Descriptive, lowercase-with-hyphens filenames
- Date-prefixed filenames when chronology matters
ContextLoom can export Context Bundles — curated sets of documents assembled for LLM prompts. The vault structure created by Claude Workstation organizes files so that relevant context can be selected and bundled efficiently.
