Before & after

Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.

PromptEvery new Claude project starts from zero and I re-explain everything.

Re-explaining context every time is inefficient. Here are some ways to give Claude persistent context:

- Create a document with your background, role, and preferences
- Upload it as a knowledge file in a Claude project
- Include key information in your custom instructions
- Reference the same context document across conversations

Projects let you attach knowledge files that persist across conversations, so you don't have to repeat yourself.

Afterwith Master Prompt Interview Builder
The reason you re-explain is you've never separated the two kinds of
context. Fix that and it's write-once.

INGREDIENTS vs RECIPE — the distinction that solves this
  MASTER PROMPT = ingredients = WHO you are
    Your role, team, tools, brand, preferences, how you work. Stable.
    Written once.
  SYSTEM PROMPT = recipe = the PROCESS for a specific workflow
    How to do one task. One per workflow.

You've been mixing them, which is why every project feels like starting
over — you're re-supplying the ingredients each time instead of loading
them once.

HOW IT BUILDS THE MASTER PROMPT — by interviewing you
Rather than you writing a context doc from scratch, Claude interviews you
about your role and pulls out what belongs in the master prompt. For a
marketer that's: your niche, your team, your brand voice, your tools,
your recurring workflows. The interview surfaces things you'd forget to
write down.

THE SETUP THAT MAKES IT PERSISTENT
  1. Interview → master prompt file (your ingredients)
  2. Upload it into a Claude PROJECT as a knowledge file
  3. Add team docs, brand docs, process docs alongside it
  4. Every conversation in that project now inherits the full context

  New project chat = full context already loaded. No re-explaining,
  because the ingredients live in the project, not in your memory of
  what you told it last time.

PER-WORKFLOW RECIPES
For each repeated task, a system prompt file (the recipe) sits alongside
the master prompt. Master prompt says who you are; the recipe says how to
do this specific thing. Together they mean a task starts with both who
AND how already known.

Want to start the interview now? I'll build your master prompt from it.

Master Prompt Interview Builder

What This Does

The creator distinguishes ingredients (master prompt = who you are) from recipe (system prompt = the process). He tells Claude to interview him to build a master prompt for his role as a marketer, uploads it into a Claude project as a knowledge file, then adds team, brand, and process docs alongside it.

What You Get

  • Role-focused interview flow
  • master prompt file (ingredients)
  • system prompt file (recipe) per workflow
  • project-scoped upload of both
  • every-chat auto-load of context

Customize

  • role: your job title or function
  • team_context: who you work with
  • tools_stack: apps and platforms you use
  • brand_voice: preferences, banned phrases
  • workflow_examples: specific processes to codify

Sample Output

The marketer walks through the interview and gets an about-me + master-prompt PDF that stays attached to every Claude project going forward.
