🤖 AI Project Instructions (CLAUDE.md starter)
A standing instruction file so your AI remembers how YOU work — paste it at the start of any project chat.
For: Anyone who uses AI regularly and is tired of re-explaining everything.
# My Project Instructions — [project name] _Give this to your AI at the start of a conversation (or save it as CLAUDE.md if you use Claude Code)._ ## What this project is [One paragraph: what you're building/doing and the end goal.] ## About me - I am: [role/situation — e.g. "a first-time founder, not technical"] - Explain things: [simply / with detail / step by step, one step at a time] - My time budget: [e.g. "evenings only, ~5 hrs/week"] ## How I want you to work - Always: [e.g. "give me the simplest option first", "ask before assuming"] - Never: [e.g. "use jargon without explaining it", "give walls of text"] - When I say "ship it" I mean: [your definition of done] ## Current state - Done so far: [list] - Working on now: [the one current thing] - Next up: [what follows] ## Key facts you should remember - [Fact 1 — e.g. budget, deadline, tools you use] - [Fact 2] --- _Tip: update the "Current state" section each session — your AI picks up exactly where you left off._
Pro move: paste this into your AI and say "Interview me one question at a time and fill this template in from my answers." Ten minutes later you have a real document. Or connect NeLocker to your AI and just ask for "the AI Project Instructions (CLAUDE.md starter) template from NeLocker."
