Official best practices for Claude Code in large codebases

Of course, the same methodology can be applied to Codex or any Agent. AI makes mistakes, it can be deceptive, and the larger the project, the more AI debt accumulates. This article covers some basic safeguards and optimization methods.

§ 01HOW IT WORKSFOUR QUIET ACTS

Not another note app. AnAI that reads with you.

“Knowledge should accumulate like compound interest — without compound effort.”

— DESIGN PRINCIPLE

STEP 01Observe

REC

Observe

The extension runs quietly in the background and records the pages you actually dwell on, revisit, and scroll. Noise is filtered out.

A quiet observer. Only pages you actually read — measured by dwell, scroll, re-visits.

STEP 02Distill

ENTRY · 04.17

Distill

Every night the AI reads your day, extracts key concepts, claims, data, citations, and writes a structured “daily knowledge entry”.

Each night, AI re-reads your day and extracts concepts, claims, data, citations.

STEP 03Weave

Weave

New entries are woven into your graph. The AI finds cross-day and cross-domain links, surfacing neighbouring ideas you might have missed.

Entries weave into your graph. Cross-day, cross-domain connections surface as you sleep.

STEP 04Research

?

Research

Give it a goal and the AI searches the web, traces citations, compares viewpoints, and writes the research report that’s still missing.

Give it a question. It searches the web, chases citations, writes the missing piece.

§ 02FEATURESEIGHT AFFORDANCES

Don’t change how you read — just make readingthicker.

01/ 08Silent Capture

Silent Capture

The extension recognises pages you actually read and ignores the fleeting noise.

06/ 08Research Agent

Research Agent

Hand it a topic; the AI searches, compares, summarises, and returns a cited report.

07/ 08Web Reach

Web Reach

When your library lacks a piece, the AI crawls arxiv, Wikipedia, and domain sites to fill it.

08/ 08Secure by Default

§ 05RESEARCH AGENTLIVE DEMO

Hand it a question; it comes backunderstanding.

The agent first reads your existing library, then decides what else it needs externally. It chases citations, compares viewpoints, builds timelines, and delivers a cited, verifiable report you can keep questioning.
