(2025-11-04) Claude web, android, code, skills, and directories

I've read multiple pieces from people recommending Claude Code for non-coding tasks. And it smells like Claude Skills could also add value. But I'm confused as to

• when/how/where do I create local project-specific directories? How should such directories be organized? Does that change if a project will involve both coding and non-coding tasks/docs?
• once I start a project in Claude Code, do I always have to work in the Terminal of my same machine? I can't use Claude-web or Claude-android to move the (non-coding) work along?

Summary

• Claude web and android can't read/write local files, you have to manually upload and download. Claude Code can read/write.
• Skills are relevant both in and out of Code.
  • they're significantly more useful in Code: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/skills
• There's no shared state between Code and web+android. You can't "move a conversation forward" in non-Code. This may be changing: (2025-10-20) Vibe Check Claude Code Now Works On Mobile And The Web, (2025-10-21) Willison Claude Code For Web A New Asynchronous Coding Agent From Anthropic
• Web+android can share state, esp via a Project.

(scraped/processed a bunch of articles I've read in the last couple days - see backlinks at the bottom of Claude Code and Claude Skills)

I think I can work with my current folder structure

• all my code is in ~/code/ (subdirectories by technology)
• all my indie-thinking/writing is in ~/fluxent/
• each dayjob gets a subdirectory of ~/career/

I only need #2 for now

• I don't think I'm going to have separate Projects yet

• cd ~/fluxent/
• claude code
• /init to make claude.md -> This directory does not appear to be a software development codebase... Creating a CLAUDE.md file would not be appropriate here
• also, I have a ~/.claude/ but it doesn't have a claude.md in it, either
  • it has projects/-Users-billseitz-Documents-fluxent/ directory, but no claude.md in there, either
• well, Teresa's article (link above) shows parts of her files, so clearly there's no scary format to worry about. So I'll try just making a couple by hand, and then restarting CC and see if it complains.
• use touch claude.md in each folder to create empty file, open in text editor, add some markdown
• quit/relaunch Claude, no comments about the files, moving ahead
• I have a CSV dump (from Oct09) of my PrivateWiki, so I want Claude to ingest it... The goal is to help Claude understand Bill's thinking patterns and knowledge base. So analyze/summarize/save to a format that will be efficient for your re-use.
  • tool uses · 76.9k tokens · 2m 55s... Wrote 396 lines to BillSeitz_Context.md
• do the same for the 127 WebSeitzWiki links listed in a txt file, all related to Agile Product Development: Now do the same thing, by reading all the links in file agileprod.txt and saving the result to file AgileProductDevelopment_Context.md.
  • hmm is it getting econnrefused?
• next: figure out what to do with the skills files for writing-viral-tweets I got from Tom Crawshaw - ah actually they're not skills files, they're just "context" files, so I'm just going to move them into a subfolder and....?
