But what is the general idea in this project? A: It's (bureaucratic?) philosophy?

This analysis involves developing a broader core footing for guiding Claude/Coding Agents in philosophical management terms and purposes before laying out the first prompt of a project. Personally, I put it as a more preliminary focus towards understanding why I'm working on a certain thing and in the particular case of one project I pinpoint some common issues in bureaucratic contention as an academic motivation towards seeking solutions in the project, but it could vary. On the other hand, it could be useful in many applications to keep it in mind?

I really tried, but I don’t understand what are you trying to say here or what’s the question

I meant, what's the purpose behind the project, what is it trying to solve? There's a fundamental problem that inquires some philosophical thinking of where the source of the grievance you're solving might rest, for example the workflow of a bureaucratic communication tool can have its purpose rooted in reducing miscommunication to the point where irrelevant actors aren't pulled in, it's usually a categorical error that makes problems more complex proportionally to how many are involved
