You're prompting Claude entirely wrong.
Because you shouldn't be prompting at all. Do this:
1. Folder
☑ A folder on your computer, "Claude Cowork":
Every file inside replaces a prompt you'd type.
↳ No more "here's the context again" in every chat.
2. ABOUT ME/
☑ about-me .md & anti-ai-writing-style .md file.
Who you are. How you write. What you'd never say.
80% of these files should be what you REJECT.
↳ Claude reads them before every task.
3. PROJECTS/
☑ One subfolder/ project. Inside: brief .md, references/, drafts/
Prompt: "Read everything in PROJECTS/[name] before starting." Live work lives here. Stop pasting 15 context messages. Put them in files.
4. TEMPLATES/
☑ Save your best work as reusable patterns:
Prompt: "Use the template in TEMPLATES/[name]."
Claude studies the structure before creating new.
Add: "Match the length, sections, and tone. Only replace the content."
5. CLAUDE OUTPUTS/
☑ The ONLY folder Claude writes to:
One subfolder per project, mirroring PROJECTS/.
You always know where deliverables live.
↳ No more "Untitled 47.docx" on your screen.
6. Global Instructions
☑ Set it once. It runs every single time:
Settings → Cowork → Edit Global Instructions.
Folder protocol, naming conventions, operating rules. You tell Claude how to behave ONCE.
7. The One Prompt
☑ Your new prompt is one sentence:
"I want to [TASK] so that [SUCCESS CRITERIA]. Start by using AskUserQuestion."
80% of my chats start with exactly this.
↳ Claude prompts YOU. Not the other way around.
8. Obsidian (free)
☑ Open your Cowork folder as a knowledge base:
Your .md files start looking like Google Docs.
You can edit, search, and link them in seconds.
Your brain + Claude's memory, in one clean place.
9. Alignment
☑ The folder does the talking. The prompt is a line.
Claude asks YOU questions before doing anything.
This replaces the old prompting era.
