Prompting is the worst way to use Claude.
Here's what the top 1% do instead:
They set up these 8 files once.
Then they barely prompt again.
File 1: about-me .md (Your identity)
Who you are, your job, your priorities.
Claude reads this before every task.
To download mine, go here: how-to-ai.guide.
Don't pay anything. It's free in the welcome email
File 2: voice-profile .md (Your taste DNA)
Your beliefs, your writing mechanics, your hard nos.
Built from a 100-question interview with Claude.
File 3: anti-ai-writing-style .md (Your boundaries)
Every word you ban, the structure you reject, tone you hate. 80% of this file is what you're NOT.
Go to how-to-ai.guide to download anti AI guide.
Don't pay .Open the email. Click on Notion.
Open '.md files' Download 'ANTI AI STYLE .md'.
File 4: The Cowork Folder (Your 4-folder system)
ABOUT ME. PROJECTS. TEMPLATES. CLAUDE OUTPUTS. 3 read-only, 1 write. Nothing extra.
File 5: Global Instructions (Your persistent rules)
Set once in Settings → Cowork → Edit
Claude follows them before every task.
Prompt: "Always read my files first, never edit my originals, deliver everything to CLAUDE OUTPUTS."
File 6: The One Prompt (How you start every chat)
29 words. Forces Claude to ask YOU questions.
Starts 80% of your conversations.
Prompt: "I want to [TASK] for [SUCCESS CRITERIA]. Use AskUserQuestion before you start."
File 7: Connectors (Claude inside your tools)
Slack, Google Drive, Notion, Gmail, Figma.
No copy-pasting. Claude reads your actual tools.
File 8: Plugins (Instant skill packs)
Marketing, Sales, Legal, Data. One-click install.
Each comes with its own slash commands.
The secret was always these 8 files behind it.
I wrote 2 guides so you can copy my exact system:
✦ My full 8-file setup: how-to-ai.guide
✦ My Cowork folder walkthrough: claude-co.work
(save this to never write a long prompt to Claude)
