Getting Xcode Claude and the Claude App to communicate with eachother

I use Claude AI in Xcode for Apple apps and the desktop Claude App. Both are fun to work with but they both have their limitations.
Xcode Claude - It's great for writing apps using Swift, but it can't create images. I has great memory features.
Claude App - It can create images but it has no memory, so I have to explain everything I want it to do.
I will start working on SKOGARK V2 next week, so I'll start with Xcode Claude to build the story and scenes.
The solution? The Claude App asked me to ask Xcode Claude to create art_bible and asset_manifest files that they both could read and write, so the Claude App could just read them when I ask it to do something on the project and Xcode Claude could read the updates and pick up from there. I no longer need to repeat myself.
I will do this for all future apps. These past few months have been a learning process and I'm in a great position to move forward with the additions I want to add to my apps.
It didn't take long to do, and I was the middleman in the process, but, now I don't need to explain as much and I'm happy with that!
This is the SKOGARK Art Bible
This is the SKOGARK Asset Manifest
