@northruphumanfirst: Folders are for humans not AI. Flat structure with metadata is key. Your .md files need a YAML header. #vibecoding #citizendeveloper #microsoftcowork
what are you thoughts on OKF? any better than nesting? i’ve been trying to understand what Google’s goal was with releasing it

We should come up with some kind of meta data that let’s us organize files in a flat way but some kind of bucket or folder system. We can call it a file system.

While I don’t totally agree with flat file systems or at least have yet to work with one that people understand, less is definitely more. You have to design for flat architecture which is difficult for many people to understand. SharePoint is a good example, both ideas exist but nearly every shop still uses folders in some compacity. Granted, SharePoint didn’t do a very good job of selling the idea and both have limitations that make it difficult to go either direction. In the AI space, you can create indexes and context files in the folders to reduce context loss but then you have maintenance issues. I feel like these AI systems need some tooling that doesn’t require token spend or eat context window space. Maybe little cli tools that maintain themselves and the agents have simple syntax to find what they need. It’s also helpful to have an agent identify the files and folders it needs for a specific task during the planning phase. That way during the development phase it doesn’t need to waste context window space hunting for files. I wont completely close the door on flat file systems though, especially in this AI online web world where folders can be a virtual container and you can technically have it any way you want.

I’m trying to rationalize this in the context of permissions/security and how you’d efficiently manage this across multiple teams/users and access in a flat structure across thousands of files vs organized by folders/groups … seems easier and more efficient to manage and maintain a true separation of duties audit dmarc…. Still thinking this through, but these are my initial thoughts

I have to kindly disagree. Although it’s good for initial set up, AI agents will often use the folder structure for logic separation of different contexts orchestration, memory, and instruction sets. Unless somebody’s really good with naming schemes of files, I recommend nested folders. If I am wrong, I’d be happy to hear why.
