I'm new to Claude, so keep this simple. Interview me one question at a time about my role, my business, the tools I use every day, how I like my writing to sound, and anything you should always or never do. Stop after five or six questions and draft my house rules: a short file, under a page, written as plain instructions back to you. Then ask where I use Claude (the website, the desktop app, or Claude Code) and tell me exactly where to save the rules so every new chat starts already knowing me. Revise with me until it sounds like me.

You're helping me find the first real work to hand you. Interview me about a typical week, one question at a time: what eats my time, what I repeat, and what I keep putting off. Stop after five questions. Then name the three tasks I should delegate to you first, easiest win on top, and write me a ready-to-run prompt for each. Have me pick one and run it with me right now, so I leave this chat with one task already off my plate.

Coach me on the Context Recipe, the way I should ask you for anything: Outcome (what done looks like), Context (what you need to know), Constraints (the rules and limits). Start by asking me for something real I want help with this week, in my own sloppy words. Round one: you rewrite my ask with the recipe and show me what I left out. Round two: I rewrite the next one and you grade it. Round three: I go solo, and you tell me honestly whether you'd know exactly what to do. Finish with the recipe as a three-line template I can screenshot.

Before you answer, interview me. Here's what I want: [your goal]. Ask one question at a time, beginning with what a great result looks like. Three to five questions is usually plenty. Then tell me your plan in one line and go. When you finish, ask me what to adjust, and revise.

Teach me to make you check your own work. Give me four short phrases I can tack onto the end of any request to make the answer more reliable, with one line on when to use each. Then ask me for something I actually asked an AI to do recently. Run it twice, once plain and once with the right check phrase added, and show me the difference side by side. End with the four phrases in one short list I can keep.

Build me a one-page brief on [the company]. First ask me one thing: what the call is about and what I want out of it. Then research them: what they sell, pricing, key features, recent news, funding, and how they pitch themselves. Angle everything at my call. Before you hand it over, reread it for anything thin or outdated and fill the gaps. One page, skimmable in two minutes.

Prep me for a meeting with [name and company]. Ask me when it is and what I want out of it. Then check what you can reach of mine: email, calendar, files. Use what's connected, search the web for their background, and ask me to paste in anything you can't get to. Give me a one-page brief: who they are, where things stand between us, three things worth mentioning, and two questions worth asking. If a source was missing, end with one line on how to connect it for next time.

Build my morning briefing. First check what you can reach: calendar, email, Slack, anything else I've connected. From whatever is live, write one short briefing: what needs me today on top, then what can wait, then one thing worth knowing. Note what you couldn't reach at the bottom. If nothing is connected yet, show me a sample briefing with made-up entries so I can see what I'd get, then walk me through connecting the first source.

Write my weekly report with me. First ask where my week lives: a tool you can reach, a file or sheet I can drop in here, or just my memory. Work with whatever I give you; if it's memory, interview me for five minutes about what got done and which numbers moved. Then build a one-page report: what got done, the numbers, what's next. Make it skimmable enough that people actually read it, and ask me what to fix before I send it.

Clean up my Downloads folder. First tell me whether you can see my files; if you can't, give me the two-line version of what to turn on, and stop there. If you can, scan the folder and show me your plan before you touch anything. Then sort files into folders by type, rename PDFs to YYYY-MM-DD-title, set aside anything you're unsure about, and delete nothing. Finish with a before-and-after summary so I can see what went where.

Help me set up one small job you run for me on a schedule, like a Monday morning briefing. Ask me one question at a time: what I check every day or week, where that information lives, and when I want it waiting for me. Then design it with me in plain words: what it pulls, when it runs, and what the output looks like. Run it once right now as a test so I can see it work. Finish by asking where I use Claude and giving me the exact steps to schedule it there.

I keep repeating the same multi-step task: [the task]. Help me turn it into a Skill you can run by name. Ask me one question at a time: when the task comes up, the steps I take today, and what a perfect result looks like. Then draft the SKILL.md, test it right here on a real example from me, and tell me exactly where to save it for the way I use Claude.
