I was running Claude Desktop (Cowork) on a 462 file project folder. Claude reads every file at the start of each session, which burns context window on outdated and irrelevant docs. Output quality was degrading noticeably. Built a near-line tiering system: a manifest template per folder, global instructions for tiered access, and a Cowork skill for consistency. ~10 min setup.
