> downloaded Claude Code > thought it was just another AI chatbot > opened it up > found a chat bar > typed a prompt > nothing happened to my files > realized the difference > browser AI waits for you to bring your files > Claude Code goes into your folder > all 45 PDFs > all the transcripts > all the messy Excel sheets > reads them all > remembers them session after session > you never re-explain your project again > so before your next literature review, do this: > create a folder with all your papers > open it in Claude Code > write a CLAUDEmd with your role, field, and writing style > ask it to screen every PDF using your inclusion/exclusion criteria > let it rename, extract, and summarize while you think > the AI didn't replace your scholarship > it eliminated the 6 hours of grunt work before it starts
