Project Instructions Generator
A copy-paste prompt that interviews you and writes a strong set of Claude Project instructions — built on the four ingredients pros use.
// Great project instructions have four ingredients
1. Context
what the project is for
2. Process
how Claude should approach tasks
3. Tone & style
how it should sound
4. Requirements
the non-negotiable rules

The prompt
I'm setting up a Claude Project for: [describe your work / goal]. Interview me one question at a time, then write the project instructions. Make sure they cover all four: 1. CONTEXT — what this project is for 2. PROCESS — how you should approach tasks in it 3. TONE & STYLE — how you should sound 4. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS — the non-negotiable rules When you have enough, output the final instructions as one clean block I can paste straight into the project's Instructions panel.
How to use it
- 1 Open a fresh Claude chat and paste the prompt. Replace [describe your work / goal] with what your project is actually for.
- 2 Answer Claude's questions one at a time. It interviews you so the instructions fit your workflow, not a generic template.
- 3 Copy the block it outputs into your Project's Instructions panel. Now every chat in that project follows it.
