You're about to set up the one Claude workspace that stops you re-explaining yourself every session. It takes about two minutes, and we'll only ask you one real question — everything else, we'll do.
Pick the closest one. Nothing here is final — you're choosing a starting point, not a commitment.
And how much do you already know about Claude Projects?
A Project is a workspace inside claude.ai with its own files and its own standing instructions. Every chat you open inside it already knows your context. A regular chat starts from zero, every time — a Project doesn't. That's the whole idea.

We've written a starter for {{ intentSentence }} — adjust anything that doesn't sound like you.
This is called an instructions block — the standing rules a Claude Project follows in every chat, so you stop repeating yourself.
That was the hardest part of a Project — pasting it in is the easy bit. You didn't just learn an interface. You built the thing that stops you repeating yourself.
All ten sections — patterns, limits, and what to do when it breaks.
A shorter, faster version of what you just walked through.
This prompt has Claude interview you and write the instructions itself.
Take care of yourself, take care of each other.
