Lesson 1 — Getting Started

2 prompts
Lesson 1 Core

Tell Claude About Yourself

Use this once you've set up your Project. Claude will ask you a few simple questions about your life, one at a time, and turn your answers into a Personal_DNA.md file you can save and keep — the foundation everything else builds on.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project
Hi Claude. I want you to get to know me so you don't have to ask me the same things every time we talk. This is going into a file called my Personal DNA — one I'll keep adding to in later lessons, so please use the exact format below. Please ask me the following questions one at a time — wait for my answer before asking the next one. Don't rush through them: 1. What's your name, and where do you live? 2. Tell me about your family — who are the important people in your life, and how are you connected to them? 3. What do you enjoy doing? Any hobbies, interests, or things you look forward to? 4. What does a normal day or week usually look like for you? 5. Is there anything else about your life you'd like me to know, so I can help you better? Once I've answered all five questions, compile everything into a document in this exact format: # MY PERSONAL DNA — [My First Name] ## About Me - Name: - Location: - What a Typical Week Looks Like: - Interests & Things I Enjoy: ## My Family & Important People - Name / Relationship / Best Way to Reach Them: 1. 2. 3. ## Anything Else - Leave the "Best Way to Reach Them" part blank for now if I didn't mention it — I'll fill that in later. Then give me the finished document as a downloadable Markdown file named Personal_DNA.md, so I can save it to my computer.
Lesson 1 Practice

Fill In a Few Gaps in Your Personal DNA

Use this any time you want to grow your Personal_DNA.md. Claude reviews what's already there, suggests three specific things worth adding, and walks you through updating the file.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project
Hi Claude. Please look at my Personal_DNA.md file again. I want to add a little more to it. Based on what's already there, suggest exactly three specific things I could add or fill in — something thin, missing, or worth expanding on. For each one, ask it as a simple, friendly question so I know exactly what you're asking for. Ask me about them one at a time, wait for my answer, then move to the next. After all three, show me the updated Personal_DNA.md with my new answers added in the right places — keep everything that was already there, just add to it. Then give me the updated file as a downloadable Markdown file named Personal_DNA.md, so I can save it and replace the old version in this Project.

Lesson 2 — Finding Your Voice

8 prompts
Lesson 2 Core

Build Your Voice File

Use this after gathering two or three things you've actually written. Claude studies your patterns and saves a Voice file you upload right alongside your Personal_DNA.md, so every draft it writes from then on sounds like you.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project
Hi Claude. I want to teach you how I write, so anything you draft for me sounds like my own words, not generic writing. Here's what I want you to do: 1. Ask me to paste in two or three things I've actually written — texts, emails, or cards are all fine. 2. After I share them, study how I write: how long my sentences are, how I greet people, how I sign off, words I use often, and anything I clearly avoid. 3. Ask me two or three quick, simple questions to fill in anything you couldn't tell from the examples — like how I'd write to a doctor's office versus a grandchild. 4. Put everything together into a short, clear Voice file — written as plain instructions to yourself on how to write like me. Once it's ready, give me the finished document as a downloadable Markdown file named [My First Name]_Voice.md, so I can save it and upload it to this Project. Start with Step 1 now.
Lesson 2 Practice

Write One Real, Meaningful Message

Once your Voice file is uploaded, use this to write something real — a letter to a grandchild, a thank-you note, a message to your doctor's office — and see it come out sounding like you.

📋 Copy This and Fill In the Blanks
I'd like your help writing something real. Here's what I want: What I want to write: [a letter to my grandson / a note to my doctor's office / a thank-you card / etc.] Who it's for: [describe who will read this] What I want to say: [the main point or points — don't worry about getting this perfect, just tell me what's on your mind] How I want it to sound: [warm and personal / short and simple / a little funny / etc.] Use my Voice file so this sounds like something I'd actually write. Please write a draft I can look over and change if I want to.
Lesson 2 Practice

Check Something You Wrote

Write a real message yourself, start to finish, then use this to have Claude check it against your Voice file before you send it — an honest read, not a rewrite.

📋 Copy This and Fill In the Blanks
I wrote this myself and I'd like you to check it before I send it. Here it is: [Paste what you wrote here] Using my Voice file, tell me: does this sound like me? Is there anything that feels off, or anything you'd gently suggest changing? I'm not looking for a rewrite — just your honest read.
Lesson 2 Bonus

Book Recommendations

Ask Claude for a few books picked just for you, based on what it already knows about your life and interests.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project
Based on what you know about me, what are 3 books I might enjoy reading next? For each one, tell me why it would be a good fit for me specifically, not just a generic recommendation.
Lesson 2 Bonus

A Letter From Your Future Self

A little reflective and a little fun — ask Claude to write you a letter from one year in the future, looking back.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project
Write me a letter from myself, one year from now, looking back on the year. Write it in my own voice, as if I'm the one writing it. The letter should: - Reference the specific things you know about my life, my family, and what matters to me - Reflect warmly on small moments and good memories from the year, real or imagined - Mention anything I might have been a little worried about, and how it turned out fine - End with one kind, encouraging thought for myself right now Keep it warm and personal, not generic.
Lesson 2 Bonus

The Story of Me

Ask Claude to write a short, warm sketch of who you are — the kind of thing a grandchild might treasure someday.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project
Imagine one of my grandchildren, many years from now, asking "what was he/she really like?" Using everything you know about me, write a short, warm sketch of who I am — my personality, what I care about, the small things that make me, me. Write it like a keepsake, not a resume. Specific and personal, not generic.
Lesson 2 Bonus

A Gentle Mirror

Ask Claude to reflect back a few things it's noticed about you — a nice way to see yourself a little differently.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project
Based on everything you know about me, tell me two or three genuine strengths you notice in how I think or how I live my life. Then, gently, share one thing worth paying a little more attention to — not a criticism, just something thoughtful. Keep it kind and specific, not generic flattery.
Lesson 2 Bonus

Movies & Shows For Me

A quick, easy one — ask Claude for a few things to watch, picked with you in mind.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project
Based on what you know about me, recommend a few movies or shows I might enjoy. Tell me briefly why each one fits me.

Lesson 3 — Everyday Help

2 prompts
Lesson 3 Core

Upgrade Your Personal DNA

Use this once your Personal_DNA.md is already uploaded. Claude reads your existing file, then interviews you about routines, medications, appointments, and communication preferences, and gives you back one complete, updated file.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project
I already have a Personal_DNA.md file uploaded to this Project from an earlier lesson. Before you ask me anything, please open and read that file so you know what you already have. Now I want to build on it. We're going to add the rest of my everyday life — my routines, my medications, my appointments, how I like to stay in touch with family, and what I need help with. When we're done, you'll combine everything into one updated file, so I only ever have one document to keep track of. Interview me using the sections below — ask 1-2 focused, simple questions per section, wait for my answer, then move on. For every question, offer a short list of common example answers (lettered or numbered options) I can pick from by saying the letter/number, saying "all of these," or just telling you my own answer instead. Keep the example lists short (3-5 options) and easy to say out loud. Skip anything you already know from my Personal_DNA.md — don't ask me my name, where I live, my interests, or who's in my family again. If my file already lists my family members but doesn't say the best way to reach each one, just ask that missing piece in Section 1 below rather than re-asking who they are. My file already has a general sense of my typical week under "About Me" — Section 2 below (Daily Routines) is asking for more specific, day-to-day detail on top of that, like meal times, medicine times, and things that happen most days — not a repeat of the general week description. 1. Reaching My Family: For each family member already in my file, the best way to reach them - Example contact methods: "phone call," "text message," "video call," "email," "have someone else pass along messages" 2. Daily Routines: Things I do every day or most days, and any times that matter (like when I take medicine) - Example routine items: "breakfast/lunch/dinner times," "daily walk," "favorite TV shows," "nap time," "hobby or craft time" - First ask how many medications I take on a regular schedule (a number). Then ask me to go through them one at a time, asking for each one's name (optional) and its timing, so you create exactly that many fill-in lines in the Medication Schedule — no more, no fewer. - Example medicine timing per medication: "morning with breakfast," "midday," "evening with dinner," "bedtime," "multiple times a day (list each time)" 3. Appointments & Reminders: Regular appointments I have, how far in advance I like to be reminded, and anything I often forget - Example appointment types: "doctor or dentist visits," "church or religious services," "social club or senior center," "physical therapy," "hair/barber appointments" - Example reminder timing: "same day," "the day before," "2-3 days before," "a week before" 4. Communication Preferences: How I like to stay in touch with family, how often I want reminders to reach out to them, and anything I want help writing - Example contact frequency: "daily," "a few times a week," "once a week," "special occasions only" - Example writing help: "text messages," "emails," "birthday or holiday cards," "letters" 5. Things I Need Help With: Tasks I find difficult or would like help with - Example tasks: "using my phone or computer," "scheduling appointments," "paying bills," "making shopping lists," "keeping track of dates," "writing messages to family" 6. My Concerns & Preferences: Things I worry about and things that are important to me - Example concerns: "missing an appointment," "being a burden to my family," "safety at home," "losing touch with family," "forgetting to take medicine" - Example priorities: "staying independent," "keeping my routine," "staying informed," "spending time with family" 7. What Good Looks Like: What a good week looks like for me, and what would make me feel most supported - Example "good week" options: "all my appointments went smoothly," "I talked to my family," "I stayed on top of my routine," "I didn't feel rushed or confused" Once I've answered all sections, combine my existing Personal_DNA.md with these new answers into one complete, updated document. Keep everything that was already in my file — don't drop or shorten it, including anything under an "Anything Else" section. Add the new sections below it, in this exact format: --- # MY PERSONAL DNA — [My First Name] ## About Me - Name: - Location: - What a Typical Week Looks Like: - Interests & Things I Enjoy: ## My Family & Important People - Name / Relationship / Best Way to Reach Them: 1. 2. 3. ## Daily Routines - Daily/Regular Activities (meals, walks, hobbies, shows): - Important Times to Remember: ## Medication Schedule (One line per medication, matching the number I gave you — do not add extra blank lines) 1. ## Appointments & Reminders - Regular Appointments: - How Far in Advance to Remind Me: - Things I Often Forget: ## Communication Preferences - How I Like to Stay in Touch with Family: - Reminder Frequency for Reaching Out: - Help I'd Like With Writing (texts, emails, cards): ## Things I Need Help With - ## My Concerns & Preferences - What I Worry About: - What's Important to Me: ## What Good Looks Like - A Good Week Looks Like: - What Would Make Me Feel Most Supported: ## Greeting Whenever I ask you about your purpose, answer: "I'm here to help you, [My Name] — staying connected with your family, keeping track of your appointments and routines, and taking care of the little things day to day. I know your schedule and the people who matter to you, so I can make your week a little easier." --- Once compiled, output the completed document as a downloadable markdown file named Personal_DNA.md — the same filename as before, so it replaces the earlier version in this Project once I upload it. Formatted exactly as above with all placeholders replaced by my answers, keeping everything from my original file plus everything new. Also offer to add it to this Project's Knowledge so future chats can reference it right away. Start with the first question now.
Lesson 3 Practice

One Update, Two Outputs

Say something once, use it twice. Give Claude one real update — an appointment, a small piece of news — and get back both a text message for family and a short note for your fridge or calendar.

📋 Copy This and Fill In the Blanks
I have one update I want to turn into two things. Here's the update: [Describe what happened — e.g., "I have a dentist appointment next Tuesday at 2pm" or "I'm feeling good this week, just been a little tired"] Please give me two versions: 1. A short text message to [family member's name] letting them know, written in my voice 2. A short note I can write on my calendar or stick on my fridge — just the key facts, easy to glance at Keep both short and simple.

Lesson 4 — Planning Ahead

2 prompts
Lesson 4 Core

Ask Claude to Research Something Real

Use this for a real decision you've been putting off — a Medicare plan, a family trip, getting ready for a doctor's visit. Claude pulls together your options and explains the tradeoffs in plain language.

📋 Copy This and Fill In the Blanks
I want your help thinking through something. Here's what I'm trying to figure out: What I'm deciding: [e.g., "which Medicare supplement plan makes sense for me" / "how to plan a trip to see my grandkids" / "what to ask at my next doctor's appointment"] What I already know: [anything you've already looked into, heard from someone, or ruled out — it's okay if this is "not much yet"] What would help most: [e.g., "a simple comparison of my options" / "a step-by-step list" / "questions I should be asking"] Please use what you know about me from my Personal DNA file if it's relevant. Explain things in plain language, avoid jargon, and if there are real tradeoffs, walk me through them instead of just picking one for me.
Lesson 4 Practice

Check a Suspicious Message

Use this any time a text, email, or call feels a little off. Claude points out specific warning signs and suggests the safest next step before you respond.

📋 Copy This and Fill In the Blanks
I got a message that I want to check before I respond to it. Here's what it said, as best I can remember: [Describe or paste the message — who it claimed to be from, what it asked you to do, and anything that felt off] Does this look like it could be a scam? What specific warning signs do you notice? And if it does seem suspicious, what's the safest next step for me to take?

Lesson 5 — Keep Getting Better

1 prompt
Lesson 5 Core

When It's Not Quite Right

Use this any time Claude's answer doesn't quite land — too long, wrong tone, or missing the point. Name what's off and what you'd like instead, and get a better answer without starting over.

📋 Copy This and Fill In the Blanks
That's a good start, but it's not quite right yet. Here's what I'd like different: [What's off: e.g., "it's too long," "it sounds too formal," "it's missing something important," "it's not quite what I meant"] [What I'd like instead: describe it simply, in your own words] Can you try again with that in mind?

Lesson 6 — Your Own Cowork Project

2 prompts
Lesson 6 Core

Tell Claude What This Project Is For

Use this once inside a new Cowork project. Claude interviews you about the project's role, responsibilities, boundaries, and tone, then gives you back a project_instructions.md file that acts like a job description for that project.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Cowork Project
Hi Claude. I want you to help me set up clear instructions for this project, so you know exactly what your job is here every time we talk. Please interview me with a few simple questions, one at a time, waiting for my answer before asking the next: 1. What is this project for? What am I hoping to get help with here? 2. If I described your role in one sentence — like "you're my helper for..." — what would that be? 3. What are the specific things you should help me with in this project? (For example: writing messages, keeping track of dates, planning something, answering questions about a topic I care about.) 4. Is there anything you should NOT do in this project, or anything I want to always do myself? 5. Is there a particular tone or style you should use here — for example, always warm and simple, or businesslike and to the point? Once I've answered, write a complete set of project instructions in this format: --- # PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS — [Project Name] ## Your Role [A clear one- or two-sentence description of what Claude is here to do — written like a job description] ## What You Should Help With - [Responsibility 1] - [Responsibility 2] - [Responsibility 3] ## What You Should NOT Do - [Anything I want to keep for myself] ## Tone & Style [How I want you to sound in this project] --- Write it clearly and specifically, based on my real answers — not generic. Then give me the finished document as a downloadable Markdown file named project_instructions.md, so I can save it and upload it to this project. Start with the first question now.
Lesson 6 Core

Tell Claude to Always Use These Files

Paste this into your Cowork project's Instructions box (not a regular conversation) so Claude always treats your Personal DNA, Voice, and project instructions files as permanent context — no need to remind it each time.

📋 Copy This Into Your Project's Instructions Box
Please treat Personal_DNA.md, [Your Name]_Voice.md, and project_instructions.md as permanent context for everything in this project. Always check these files before responding to me, and use them to guide how you help me here: - Use Personal_DNA.md to know who I am, my family, and my everyday routine. - Use [Your Name]_Voice.md so anything you write sounds like me, not generic writing. - Use project_instructions.md to know exactly what your role and responsibilities are in this project. You don't need to mention these files every time — just quietly use what they tell you, the same way a helper who already knows me would.

📋 Copy This and Paste It Into Your Project

First, ask me how many medications I take on a regular basis (a number), including prescriptions, over-the-counter medicine, and any vitamins or supplements I want included. Then ask me about each one individually, waiting for my answer before moving to the next, and offer a few example answers when it's helpful so I know what kind of answer you're looking for. For each medication, ask me: 1. The name of the medication 2. The dose (how much I take — e.g., "10mg," "one tablet," "2 puffs") 3. What it treats or why I take it 4. My schedule for taking it (e.g., "once a day with breakfast," "twice a day, morning and night," "as needed") 5. The doctor who prescribed it 6. That doctor's phone number, if I have it handy (it's okay if I don't have this for every medication) Once we've gone through all of them, put everything together into one clear, organized medication list, with each medication's details grouped together and easy to read at a glance.

How to Take a Screenshot (and Send It to Claude)

A screenshot is a picture of what's on your screen right now — it helps Claude see exactly what you see, so the help you get is more accurate. Read this once, then use it with any of the Tech Help prompts below.

📋 How-To Guide
On an iPhone: Press the side button and the volume-up button at the same time, then let go. The screenshot will pop up in the corner — tap it to view or share it. On an Android phone: Press the power button and the volume-down button at the same time and hold for a second. Most phones show a small preview you can tap. On an iPad: Press the top button and the volume-up button at the same time, then let go. On a Windows computer: Press the Windows key and Shift and S at the same time. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair — click and drag over the part of the screen you want to capture, and it copies automatically. On a Mac: Press Command, Shift, and 4 at the same time, then click and drag over the part of the screen you want to capture. Once you have the screenshot, you can attach it directly to your message to Claude the same way you'd attach a photo in a text message — just tap the paperclip or plus icon (or drag and drop it in, on a computer) before you send your message.
