Knowledge Map

The 3-Object Model

Object	Description	Key Question
Goals	What we want to achieve	"Why does this exist?"
Context	Knowledge required to achieve goals	"What do we need to know?"
Collaborators	Humans who contribute	"Who helps make this happen?"

The file system is derived from this model. Each folder exists to serve a goal, contains relevant context, and is accessible to relevant collaborators.

Core Principles

AI-First Collaboration

Minimize human collaborators to the essential few.

Claude Code is the primary collaborator. Human collaborators are the exception, not the default.

State	Description
Ideal	Goal achieved with Claude Code alone
Acceptable	Human collaborator provides significant long-term value
Avoid	Human collaborator out of habit, convenience, or "that's how it's done"

When Humans Are Essential:

• Relationships requiring human presence (clients, events, local markets)
• Judgment requiring domain expertise Claude Code lacks
• Execution requiring physical presence or legal identity
• Long-term institutional knowledge that compounds over time

Knowledge-First Principle

Default to achieving goals with knowledge (md files) + AI agents. Only write code when that fails.

Layer	What	When
Knowledge	Markdown files — context, playbooks, notes	Always start here
AI Agents	Claude Code operating on knowledge	Default execution layer
Code	Repos, apps, custom software	Last resort — when knowledge + AI hits a wall

Why Knowledge-First:

• Markdown is native interface for AI — lowest friction
• Code adds maintenance burden (dependencies, hosting, updates)
• Knowledge compounds over time; code often needs rewrites
• Faster iteration (edit md vs. ship feature)
• Forces clarity — if you can't write it down, you don't understand it

Inside/Outside Game Model

Game	Who	What
Inside	You + Claude Code	Content creation, strategy, execution, systems
Outside	Human collaborators	Relationships, representation, local presence, judgment in rooms AI can't enter

Directory Structure

Root-Level Organization

Flat structure. No nesting of identity groups — projects live at root alongside knowledge files.

Type	Items
Knowledge Files	CLAUDE.md, KNOWLEDGE_MAP.md, UI_STYLE_GUIDE.md, TODO.md
Dashboard Data	ai-agent-tasks/, opportunities/
Visualization	dashboard/
Work Projects	worca/, hihq-monorepo/, angel/, writings/
Personal	research/
Family	lin-family-projects/
Other	misc/

Three Businesses

Business	Directory	Type	Description
Worca	worca/	Talent Agency	Serve clients with quality talent. 13 team members + 2 coaches.
HIHQ	hihq-monorepo/	AI & Data Research Lab	Tech stack, research agenda, product vision. AI-first development.
Angel	angel/	Investment	Find generational founders, achieve 1000X returns. AI-first analysis.

Dashboard Data Flow

The dashboard/ project reads markdown at build time and renders HTML:

Dashboard Page	Source
AI Tasks	ai-agent-tasks/*.md
Opportunities	opportunities/*.md
Knowledge Map	KNOWLEDGE_MAP.md
UI Style Guide	UI_STYLE_GUIDE.md

Collaborators

Worca Team (13 + 2 coaches)

LA (2)

Name	Role	Inside/Outside	Notes
Alec Fang	Operations	Outside	Client relationships, financial ops
Linda Chen	External Relations	Outside	Brand ambassador, PR, media

Linda's Highest-Value Activities:

• External representation (podcasts, events, panels, media)
• Relationship development (journalists, influencers, partners)
• Client-facing PR (crisis management, sensitive comms)
• Industry intelligence (signals from conversations AI can't access)

Linda is the "outside game" — you + Claude Code handle the "inside game."

Taiwan (4)

Name	Role	Inside/Outside	Notes
Lydia Huang	Head of Talent	Outside	Events, bench relationships. Discord should be AI-first.
Wilson Yeh	Head of Ops	Outside	Government, compliance, local ops
Jim Chang	Tech Lead (PT)	Evaluate	Could be AI-first?
Fenny Lai	PM (PT)	Evaluate	Could be AI-first?

Philippines (5)

Name	Role	Inside/Outside
Alvin Calma	Account Manager	Outside
Ivan Gonzales	Head of Talent	Outside
April Larkin	Training Manager	Outside

Re-evaluation Queue

Collaborator	Current Role	Question
Linda Chen	Writings, PR	Is she creating content or executing/scheduling? Could CC draft, Linda publish?
Lydia Huang	Discord community	Does she have community-building expertise? If not, why is she doing this?

Case Studies

Project	Current State	Assessment
HIHQ	Built with Claude Code, no human devs/PMs	Success - Proof that AI-first works.
Writings	Relying on Linda	Re-evaluate - Should be AI-first.
Worca Discord	Relying on Lydia	Failing - Clear candidate for AI-first.
