Master Prompt Interview Builder
Have Claude interview you to build a master prompt file that describes your role, workflows, team, tools, and preferences so every project inherits full context.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
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. Would you like help drafting a context document?
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.

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.
