Knowledge that earns its place

You'll finish with: Five files that brief every new chat.

The temptation is to upload everything. Don't — noise makes it worse, not better.

Five files that earn their place

Why examples beat instructions

You can describe your voice for a page and get it half right. Upload two things you actually sent and it gets it immediately. Show, don't specify.

What to leave out

Do this now
  1. Create the project and add the five files above.
  2. Write the instructions — same content as your CLAUDE.md.
  3. Ask a new chat to draft something. Judge it on whether it sounds like you.
How to know it worked

A colleague asks it for a client email and gets something you'd have been happy to send.

On your own? Open a brand new chat inside the project and ask for the same email. A fresh chat knows nothing except what the project gives it, so if the answer still sounds like you, the knowledge is doing its job.

If the fresh chat writes something generic, the files are attached but the instructions box is empty — knowledge tells it the facts, instructions tell it how to sound. If it contradicts something in your files, you've likely uploaded two versions of the same document; delete the old one rather than adding a note about which is current.
