First steps

Your first room

A Data Room is a folder of files that holds your thinking. Larry writes into it as you talk. You create one in a single command, and from then on it remembers what you decided.

The job this does

When you start a new venture, research project, or hard problem, you want to a workspace that remembers your thinking, so you can you never lose the thread between sessions.

In plain terms

A room is not a chat history. It is a filing cabinet with labeled drawers. Each drawer is a part of your venture. Larry drops the right note in the right drawer as you talk, so next week you open the cabinet and everything is where it belongs.

Create a room

The recommended way is from inside Claude Code. Larry asks what you are working on and builds the room for you.

claude
/mos:new-project

Larry asks a few questions, creates a room under ~/MindrianRooms/, sets up the sections, and writes a ROOM.md identity file. Describe your project in plain English. There is nothing to memorize.

Start inside a folder you already work in.

The system reads what is there and orients itself before proposing a first move. A cold, blank room is the worst onboarding path. Point Larry at a venture, a research project, or a set of notes you already have.

Room structure

A room is a set of sections, each a folder. A typical room looks like this:

~/MindrianRooms/my-project/
problem-definition/
solution-design/
market-analysis/
competitive-analysis/
team-execution/
assets/
ROOM.md
STATE.md

Key files

  1. 1
    ROOM.mdis the room's identity. Every folder has one. It tells Larry what the folder is for.
  2. 2
    STATE.mdis the room's current state: what stage you are in, what is filled, what is missing.
  3. 3
    Section files hold your actual work. Each is a claim with a validity status and links to related sections.

Start working

Navigate into the room and launch Claude. Then describe your current challenge in plain words and let Larry suggest the next command.

cd ~/MindrianRooms/my-project
claude

See the files while Larry writes them.

Open the room folder in Cursor or VS Code and run claude in the integrated terminal. As Larry files something, you watch it appear in the sidebar in real time.
