DeskRoot Rebuilds AI Assistant Setup as a Folder of Editable Markdown Procedures
KenGuy14 · reddit · 2026-09-14
The author introduces DeskRoot, which centers AI assistant setup on a concrete recurring job. It uses a folder of editable Markdown files: a setup interview asks about your work, communication preferences and boundaries, confirms answers with you, and writes them into the workspace; the assistant follows the written procedures. Existing instructions/workflows can be inventoried and migrated with a proposed map that preserves originals and verifies copies, while tool connections, permissions and schedules still need host-app setup. A post-setup check: open a fresh conversation and have the assistant retrieve facts, next steps and approval boundaries from an imported workflow.
