Claude Prompt Engineering Levels 1-7

You're still stuck at Level 1 of Claude. Here are the 6 levels above you (one tip each): Quick recap. Level 1 is one sentence in a prompt: End every prompt with "Ask me questions first." Claude interviews YOU. You click the answers. The output gets 10x more personal. Level 2 → Talk. Don't type. You type 60 words a minute. You speak 150. Download Wispr .ai (free). Hold the key. Talk. Your prompts get longer, richer & take half the time. Level 3 → Leave the chat. Get the Claude app → open the "Cowork" tab. Drop in a messy doc, old proposal, numbers. Then: "Build a spreadsheet to do [X]. Ask me what you need first." 3 minutes later: a real Excel file. Level 4 → Connect your apps. Left sidebar → Customize → Connectors. Connect Gmail, Calendar, your notetaker (Granola). Then test it: "Prep me for tomorrow using my emails, calendar, and meeting notes." Level 5 → Teach it once. Use it forever. Type /skill-creator and prompt: "Teach Claude to build spreadsheets exactly the way I like them. Ask me questions first." Answer its questions. Click "Save skill." Now /[Skill name] works in every future chat. Level 6 → Master the models. Use the new Claude Fable 5 for quick 2 prompts. Switch to Opus 4.8, Effort High, for the heavy work. The wrong model wastes the exact same prompt. Level 7 → Vibecode. Open the </> Code. Turn on "Bypass permissions." (It's the scary button. All it means is: go, I trust you.) Then: "Build a page where people book a 30-min call with me. Ask me questions first." 4 mins later, it works. You built software. In English. Every single level runs on "Ask me questions first."
