Where thinking with Claude becomes shared knowledge.
The Mesh is an extension of Claude as a thinking tool — the step after the conversation. The ideas, decisions, and structured knowledge you generate with Claude now land somewhere permanent, visual, and shared with the whole team.
Plan mode on steroids for knowledge creation.
Claude Code's plan mode is the structured reasoning phase — Claude thinks through a problem carefully before acting. That thinking produces something valuable. The Mesh is what happens when that output stops being ephemeral: instead of a plan that lives in a conversation and disappears, you get a living artifact — visual, web-based, instantly shareable with the team, and continuously updated as your thinking evolves.
The process stays the same. You think with Claude, Claude produces structured output. But now that output lands somewhere real: expressive, collaborative, browsable by anyone on the team, and queryable by every agent. Knowledge creation as a first-class outcome of the Claude workflow, not a side effect of it.
HTML is the format that works for both.
When agents do the writing and humans do the reading, markdown falls short — it can't carry visual hierarchy, navigable structure, or diagrams. HTML can. And agents get the same content as Markdown, via Cloudflare HTMLRewriter at request time. One document, two audiences, no dual format to maintain — the HTML is canonical and the Markdown is derived on demand.

What's in it
Built on Cloudflare — Workers, R2, D1, KV. HTML is canonical; Markdown is extracted on demand. GitHub syncs automatically on every write as a read-only safety net. Three scope levels: org-wide, team, and individual. If it isn't in the Mesh, it isn't shared knowledge yet.
Where this is going — The end state is immersive: a split screen with the Claude conversation on one side and the live Mesh page on the other, updating in real time as Claude writes. Not a tab you switch to. Not a commit you push. The thinking and the knowledge base side by side, in one continuous experience.
