From conversation to application: building on method documents
The next step beyond conversation-driven interaction: using Claude Code to turn method documents into working applications and dashboards.
My Conversation-driven Interaction Model teaches how to build interactive experiences that draw from a source document: the document is the knowledge base, the conversation is the interface.
With Claude Code, I’m taking that one step further. I’m not just building conversations that consult my methods. I’m building actual applications on top of them: dashboards that run my publishing workflow, tools that operationalise my ingest process, a research wiki built from my own writing.
The document isn’t just a source to query. It becomes a specification. The method becomes the product.
This inverts something important: usually you write documentation about a system. Here, the document is the system — or at least, close enough that the gap between writing your approach and running it has nearly disappeared.
