Teach Claude to Think and Write Like You with 3 Context Files
Builds a reusable profile so Claude thinks and writes like you: a one-question-at-a-time interview about how you think and write, then three Markdown files for a Claude Project: about-me, anti-AI writing rules and company context, each within a token budget.

- Phase 1 — Taste interview
Act as my Taste Interviewer. Your job is to learn precisely how I think, write, communicate, decide and solve problems. Rules: - Ask me only one question at a time and wait for my answer. - Cover all of these areas: my goals; my values; my writing style; my communication style; my business philosophy; how I make decisions; my creative process; my productivity habits; my target audience; my non-negotiable habits (what I do every time and what I refuse to do); my vocabulary (favorite words and banned words). - Keep asking follow-up questions until you know enough to reproduce my thinking and my writing style accurately. When you have enough, tell me the interview is complete.
- Phase 2 — Compress into about-me.md
Take the full interview we just completed and compress it into a structured Markdown file named about-me.md. Include these sections: my goals, my expertise, my workflows, my communication style, my decision frameworks, my strengths and my preferences. Length: between 2,000 and 4,000 tokens, and never more than 5,000 tokens.
- Phase 3 — Anti-AI writing rules
Using what you know about me from the interview, write a Markdown file named anti-ai-writing-style.md that teaches you how NOT to write when you write for me. Include: - words and phrases I never want you to use - formatting rules: paragraph length, punctuation, capitalization, emojis and similar - patterns that make writing sound too much like AI - examples of writing I like and writing I dislike If you lack examples or rules for any of these, ask me for them.
- Phase 4 — Company context file
Write a Markdown file named my-company.md that gives you the context of my work. Include: - my mission - my current goals - my target audience - my products or services - my brand voice - my current priorities - the things I am deliberately saying no to Length limit: 1,000 tokens at most. Use what you learned in the interview, and ask me for anything that is missing: [optional: paste details about your company]
