1. Structure Your Cowork Workspace Folder
Create a dedicated folder on your machine where your context files, SOPs, templates, and active projects live. Never work out of random unindexed downloads.
Inside that folder, create three anchor files: CONTEXT.md (who you are and what you sell), VOICE.md (3 examples of your best writing), andPLAYBOOK.md (your repeatable checklists).
mkdir -p ~/VamshiCreates-OS/{context,skills,projects,outputs}
touch ~/VamshiCreates-OS/context/{CONTEXT.md,VOICE.md,OFFERS.md}2. Connect Essential Connectors & Skills
Enable filesystem access, browser research, and document generation skills (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX) so your workspace can produce client-ready deliverables directly.
3. Run Daily Morning Briefings Automatically
Use this exact prompt every morning to triage your priorities, draft replies, and spin up background subagents for research.
Read /context/CONTEXT.md and /projects/ACTIVE.md.
1. Identify the 3 highest-leverage tasks for today.
