# North Star

A living document of goals, aspirations, and current focus areas. Both you and Claude write to this. Claude reads it at the start of meaningful work sessions and references it when making suggestions.

## Current Focus

_What am I working toward right now?_

-

## Goals

### Short-term (This Quarter)

-

### Medium-term (This Half)

-

### Long-term (This Year+)

-

## Aspirations

_What kind of engineer/person am I becoming?_

-

## Anti-goals

_What am I explicitly NOT optimizing for?_

-

## Shifts Log

Record when focus changes, with date and reason.

| Date | Shift | Reason |
|------|-------|--------|
|      | Created North Star | Initial setup |
