Prompts

Set Up Claude to Work Like Your Business Partner

Three prompts to run once, before you prompt anything else. Claude interviews you, saves what it learns as files on your computer, and follows your rules in every session after.

Out of the box, Claude knows nothing about your business — so you get generic advice and end up re-explaining your offers, customers and tone in every new chat. This setup has you do the explaining once. Claude interviews you with ten to twelve questions and writes a profile in your own words, turns that into a small folder of files covering your business, offers, customers, voice and goals, then writes the CLAUDE.md rule file it reads at the start of every session: how to talk to you, when to ask before acting, and what never to do. All three prompts are written out in full to copy. About 35 minutes, start to finish.

What's inside

  • All three prompts in full — the interview, the folder structure, and the CLAUDE.md rewrite
  • Step 1 works in any Claude chat; steps 2 and 3 need Claude Code or Cowork on a paid plan
  • Claude marks gaps as "Not covered yet" or "TODO: ask me" instead of inventing details
  • Keeping it current: what to tell Claude when prices or goals change, and when to re-run step 3
