Use this 3-part structure for AI prompts: Part 1: Context files. Step 1. Create a file called "ABOUT ME." Step 2. Put in your role, audience, goals, and tone. Step 3. Create a second file: "WRITING STYLE." Step 4. Add 3–5 examples of your best past writing. Step 5. Save both as .md files. Step 6. Upload them before you type a prompt. Step 7. It knows who you are before it writes a word. Part 2: Clear instruction. Step 1. State the task in one sentence. Step 2. Name the format. (Post, email, thread, ad.) Step 3. Name the audience. (Founders, marketers.) Step 4. That's your prompt. Not 500 words. 3 lines. Part 3: "Ask me questions first." Step 1. Add this line at the end of every prompt: "DO NOT start writing yet. Ask me clarifying questions first." Step 2. Claude will ask 3–6 questions. Step 3. Answer them by clicking buttons. Step 4. Now Claude writes something that actually sounds like you said it.
