Are you using Claude Code?

I find it to be SIGNIFICANTLY better than Projects in any other form, because the amount of layers you can create.

You can store the full books, have your workflows, etc.

Yes, I use Claude — both the chat and Claude Code. Projects are great for layering context, but my concern with storing full books is that they eat up a huge chunk of the context window. I'd rather spend that budget on actual project context — the codebase, architecture decisions, domain specifics. That's where the distilled skill files come in: you get the core principles from the book in a compact, actionable form without burning through your context on hundreds of pages of text. At least that's how I see it
