The Claude starter folder

A ready-made folder structure for getting Claude working properly on your own writing and documents — instead of starting from a blank chat every time.

What's inside

README — start here. The five-minute version. Read this first.
About me. A template Claude interviews you to fill in, so it writes in your voice — including an anti-AI-writing-style list of words and habits to reject.
Global instructions. The standing rules that apply to every conversation.
Onboarding prompt. A first-conversation prompt that sets everything up by asking you questions.
Setup prompts. Install guide, document-filing automation, and a setup-with-code walkthrough.
Security checklist. Practical cyber-safety rules for working with an AI assistant.
Project + template scaffolding. An example project with briefs, drafts and references, ready to copy.
Also worth a look

The Claude Setup Map — a one-page visual of how the folder, instructions and projects fit together.
