Workstream Routing
Conditional context loading based on which domain you are working in, so Claude loads consulting context for consulting work and newsletter context for newsletter work.
Workstream routing is the pattern where CLAUDE.md detects which domain you are working in and loads the appropriate context files, rule files, and workstream brief. When Victor says "I am working on STEEPWORKS," the system loads the STEEPWORKS context, brand voice, and positioning files automatically. When he switches to consulting, it loads the relevant client engagement context and GTM frameworks. The routing is keyword-triggered in CLAUDE.md and file-path-triggered in rule files. This eliminates the manual context loading that burns 500+ tokens per session and ensures skills always operate with the right business context loaded.
