How to set up Claude so it never forgets you:
Prompts → Projects → Skills (explained in 3 mins)
Prompts = telling a stranger your job every morning.
Projects = giving a new hire a binder on day one.
Skills = training an employee once. For forever.
Step 1: Start with a Prompt (but don't stay there)
✦ Open Claude. Type your task. Get an answer.
✦ It works. But tomorrow? Claude forgot everything.
✦ You re-explain. Again. Every. Single. Chat.
✦ That's Level 1. Most people never leave it.
Step 2: Move to a Project
✦ Go to Claude .ai → Create a Project.
✦ Upload your voice file. Upload your instructions.
✦ Now every chat inside that Project knows you.
✦ Your context, style, and tone stick.
But you still have to open the right Project.
You still have to say "read my file first."
Step 3: Graduate to Skills
✦ Open Claude Cowork.
✦ Select Opus 4.7 + Extended Thinking.
✦ Prompt: "Use the skill-creator to help me build a skill for [your most repeated task]."
Claude interviews you. Answer extensively.
"I write reports" is useless.
"I write weekly reports that start with the headline metric, 3 sections max, next steps as bullets" is a Skill.
The specificity is the skill.
Step 4: Install and test
✦ Save the Skill folder.
✦ Go to Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload.
✦ Open a new chat. Type your task normally.
✦ The Skill fires on its own. No slash command.
✦ Claude just knows.
