The Me File
One file. Claude knows you.
Every session, founders waste the first ten minutes re-briefing Claude — who they are, what they're building, how they write, what they'd never say. The Me File fixes that. Install it once, and every chat starts with Claude already briefed. No re-explaining. No generic output. Just work.
The skill 38,000+ founders can install to stop re-explaining themselves to Claude.
What it does for you
One install, every session
Upload it once to a Claude Project. Every chat in that project starts with Claude already briefed on who you are.
Output that sounds like you
Claude writes in your voice, not the generic AI default. Your rules, your constraints, your patterns.
Works for any founder
Bootstrapped or funded, solo or team, product or service. The file adapts to how you work, not the other way around.
Portable across AI tools
Built on an open standard. The same file works in Claude and is designed to transfer to other AI platforms that support the format.
What is inside
Six sections. The full picture of how you work.
Who I am
A short, factual introduction. Where you're based, how you work, what makes your approach distinct. One paragraph, no fluff.
- Location and working style
- Your background in one clear sentence
- What makes your approach distinct from the default
What I'm building
Your business or businesses with enough context for Claude to understand the work, the people involved, and what's currently the focus.
- The product or service and who it's for
- Current stage and active priority
- People involved and how the work is split
How I make decisions
The values and priorities Claude needs to make judgment calls on your behalf. Specific enough to be useful. Honest, not aspirational.
- What you optimise for
- What you protect
- What you'd choose between when forced to pick
What I will never do
Hard constraints on how you work and communicate. These are rules, not preferences. Claude treats them as non-negotiable.
- Constraints on voice and language
- Constraints on content and framing
- Constraints on how you represent yourself
How I write
Your writing rules, stated as rules. Sentence length. Jargon policy. How you open and close. Claude follows these for every draft it produces in your voice.
- Sentence and paragraph length targets
- Words and phrases you never use
- How you open, close, and punctuate
What bad looks like
Concrete examples of output Claude should never produce for you. Specific bad examples do more work than abstract good rules. This section teaches Claude what to avoid faster than anything else in the file.
- Bad headline or subject line examples
- Bad opening lines Claude should never write for you
- A full bad-output sample with annotation
