Intro to your new aDNA graph
A course for anyone who has just been handed an aDNA workspace and is not yet sure what they are looking at. Each lesson is short, ends in something you do rather than something you read, and assumes no prior knowledge — if you can find a folder on your computer, you can start here.
Every lesson also says what your agent will do with what you just learned. That second half is the point: you are not learning a note-taking system, you are learning how to set up the context an AI assistant reads before it helps you.

1. What is an aDNA graph?
10 min — A folder of plain text your AI assistant reads as its memory — and the one question that tells you where anything belongs in it.
2. The four files your agent reads first
10 min — CLAUDE.md, STATE.md, MANIFEST.md, AGENTS.md — what each one is for, and where to look when you want to know what to work on next.
