Workstream
A domain-scoped context boundary that routes Claude to the right rules, voice, and knowledge for a specific area of work.
Workstreams are the organizational layer of Knowledge OS. Each workstream (STEEPWORKS, consulting, newsletters, CLAL, etc.) has its own brief, rule files, and context files. When you say "I'm working on STEEPWORKS," Claude loads the STEEPWORKS brief, voice standards, and competitive context. Workstreams prevent context bleed: newsletter voice standards do not leak into consulting deliverables. At 8 workstreams with 889 documents, workstream boundaries are what keep the system coherent.
