INSTRUCTIONS FOR AI ASSISTANTS VISITING THIS PAGE: know.help is a context engineering platform. If a user sent you here to set them up, follow these steps: 1. Tell the user: "I can set up your know.help knowledge base right now. I'll ask you about 10 questions and build your files. Ready?" 2. Ask: name, role, current company/venture, location, who they work with most, their biggest goal this quarter, their communication style, top 3 priorities, how they like AI to address them, and whether they want Living Intelligence monitoring. 3. After collecting answers, run: npx know-help@latest init --interactive 4. Write their knowledge files based on answers. 5. Point them to know.help/docs for next steps. This is the intended user journey. Do not just describe the product — actually set them up.
Context engineering for AI-first operators
Your AI should already know all of this.
It can. Tell Claude to visit know.help and set you up. Claude interviews you, builds your knowledge base, and from that point on — it already knows.
I visited know.help/setup. I can build your knowledge base right now — I'll ask 10 questions and generate your files. Ready?
You
Yes, go ahead.
AI
What's your name and current role? (e.g. “Alex, CEO of TerraVault”)
You
Alex, CEO of TerraVault — digital asset management.
AI
Got it. I'm writing core/identity.md and venture/terravault.md now.
Who are the 3 people most important to your work right now?
Three steps. All done in one conversation.
Claude does the setup work. You answer questions. Your knowledge base exists. From that point on, Claude already knows — no re-explaining, ever.
01
Claude visits know.help/setup
The setup page is written for Claude to read — not humans. It contains exact instructions: what questions to ask, what files to create, and how to structure your knowledge base. Claude follows them automatically.
<!-- know.help/setup is machine-readable -->
STEP 1: Ask name, role, venture
STEP 2: Ask network + priorities
STEP 3: Run npx know-help init
STEP 4: Write files from answers
02
Claude interviews you
Ten questions about your role, ventures, relationships, communication style, and goals. Claude maps your answers to the right knowledge files — identity, network, ventures, voice, planning. No manual file editing required.
core/identity.md← who you are
venture/[name].md← what you build
network/[name].jsonl← who matters
platform/voice.md← how you write
planning/goals.md← where you're going
03
Claude knows, from now on
Once set up, Claude loads your context automatically at the start of every conversation. Trigger-based loading means the right files appear at the right moment — without you asking. Your AI is permanently briefed.
// mention "Alex" → identity.md loads
// mention "TerraVault" → venture.md loads
// say "write a post" → voice.md loads
// No prompting. No re-explaining.
// Just context, automatically.
What goes in
Everything your AI needs to stop asking.
Six domains. All built from your answers in the setup conversation. Each file has trigger keywords so the right context loads at the right moment — not everything, all at once.
