Descriptions:
Teresa Torres, author of Continuous Discovery Habits and a widely respected voice in product management, joins Peter Yang to walk through how she has rebuilt her entire work system around Claude Code — not just for coding, but for task management, research, writing, and strategic thinking. Her setup pairs Obsidian (a Markdown-based note tool) with two terminal windows running Claude Code, integrated with Trello and custom Python automation.
The centerpiece is her daily task ritual: typing the single word “today” launches a Claude Code script that checks her team’s Trello board for new cards, generates a prioritized Markdown to-do list, surfaces overdue items, and opens it in Obsidian — all in seconds. Torres demonstrates creating new tasks, running SEO keyword research mid-article (Claude Code searches live rankings to suggest high-volume terms), iterating on blog post outlines, and fact-checking claims against academic research — all through conversational back-and-forth in the terminal.
A key concept Torres introduces is the “LLM context” directory: structured files containing her goals, writing voice, principles, and preferences that Claude Code reads to give increasingly personalized output. She notes that a 9,000-word blog post took her just one and a half days to produce this way — something she describes as impossible before. The video makes a compelling case that Claude Code’s value extends far beyond software development, functioning as a genuine thinking partner for any knowledge worker willing to invest in building their context system.
