Prompting is the worst way to use Claude. Here's what (actually) works: Step 1: Download Claude (claude. com/ download) Open Claude 'Cowork' tab. Select Opus 4.6 model. Use this setup guide: https://lnkd.in/dVDent-3 Step 2: Open a Google Doc. Name it "about-me." Write 4 things: who you are, how you write, examples of your best work, and your 'do nots.' Step 3: OR copy-paste my interview prompt From this guide: https://lnkd.in/eF56s4i8 It asks you 100 questions about how you think. Step 4: Save it as .md and put it in one folder Download in .md format. Create a folder called "claude-context." Every .md file goes in there. Access my .md files here: https://lnkd.in/dVDent-3 Step 5: Upload the folder to Cowork Click "Work with folder", upload the folder. Claude now reads every file before responding. Step 6: Use this prompt to start any task: "I want to [YOUR TASK] so that [WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE]. First, read the uploaded files before responding. DO NOT start executing yet. Instead, ask me clarifying questions so we can refine the approach together step by step. Only begin work once we've aligned." Step 7: Use this prompt to redirect Claude: "We are getting sidetracked. We need to start over without losing the context of this chat. First, ask me what went wrong and where we must go instead." Step 8: Update your files as your taste evolves Upload the old .md. Paste this prompt: "Read this file. Update it with [what changed]." After months of testing Claude, I built a single prompt library with every prompt I personally use. To access it, complete these 4 steps: 1. Subscribe (for free) → how-to-ai.guide. 2. Open my welcome email. 3. Hit the automatic reply button inside. 4. Receive your prompt library + bonus video. | 235 comments on LinkedIn
