About-Me Folder Setup For Cowork

What This Does

The creator has Claude scaffold an about-me folder inside Cowork with three MD files: about-me covers name, business, audience, projects; writing-rules pulls from the Wikipedia anti-AI-writing page to enumerate patterns to avoid; memory is an append-only log Claude updates after each session. Global instructions are updated to reference all three at the start of every session.

What You Get

• About-me MD covering identity, business, projects
• writing-rules MD sourced from anti-AI-writing patterns
• memory MD with append-only session log
• updated global instructions referencing all three
• naming convention for future MD files

Customize

• user_name: who Claude addresses
• business_focus: current company and projects
• writing_don'ts: banned AI patterns
• memory_append_rules: what triggers new memory entries
• global_instruction_location: settings pane or root folder

Sample Output

Claude drops in a memory MD showing preferences captured, active projects listed, and a writing-rules file with 14 anti-AI patterns before every session.

Target Audience

Cowork users setting up a personal assistant from scratch
