Quick architecture question.

I’m setting up a long-term workspace for a client. She’s an author/expert but completely non-technical.

I need one canonical workspace that both of us can access from different computers, while agents can also work against the same files and everything stays synchronized/versioned.

My underlying architecture is human-readable files have to remain the source of truth. Any memory/retrieval layer can sit on top, but I don’t want the project locked inside a proprietary system.

The cleanest option I’ve found so far is private GitHub + local Codex, possibly Codespaces for her so she doesn’t have to deal with Git. I’ve also looked at a shared VPS/Tailscale layer if agents eventually need a persistent environment.

Have you solved something like this before? What architecture would you use today if one collaborator is technical and the other one is non-technical?

I think you should start with the problems you want to solve and the outcomes you want to achieve for both users! Also no matter what solutions you bring forth you will still need to train the user. Fortunately ai can assist with this to and also provide access to you where it doesnt succeed with the user

sorry, I just saw you question.
if you want, you can turn this into a web app, and implement claude agent SDK inside it.
you can both access the app, and work on it, with the same claude agentic capabilities

you will need some strong guardrails for that so things dont get out of hand on the side of the client
