You will learn how Projects give Cowork persistent memory, standing instructions, and scheduled tasks. End state is one live Project wrapped around a real recurring workflow, with memory verified across two sessions. After this module you can stop re-explaining context between sessions, run "build on last week's" requests, and schedule recurring deliverables that produce themselves.
