I'm working on [describe your project — world building, business content, character development, etc.] and I need to decide how to store my information so Claude can access it efficiently.

My main question: should this go in a spreadsheet (like Airtable or Google Sheets) or in a text document (like Claude.md or a notes file)?

Here's what I'm storing: [describe what you have — character profiles, recipes, business rules, backstories, etc.]

Walk me through the decision. Ask me questions if you need to. Then:

1. Tell me which format you'd recommend for each type of content, and why
2. If a spreadsheet is the right call, draft the column headers I should use
3. If a document is the right call, show me a simple template structure
4. Tell me what I should do first

Two rules for this decision:
- Structured information (things with repeating parts — title, description, a few fields) belongs in a spreadsheet. Claude can grab just the part it needs without reading everything.
- Unstructured information (backstories, rules, prose, how-I-work notes) belongs in a document. It reads like writing, not a table.

Keep it practical. I'm not a developer. If I'd have to hire someone to set this up, it's not the right answer.
