FOR PEOPLE WITH A JOB WHO PAY FOR CLAUDE OR CHATGPT

Stop re-explaining yourself to Claude every morning. Make it know you, sound like you, and do your repeat work by name.

You don't need a bigger plan. You need the setup nobody hands you. The Setup is one folder: drop it into a Project, answer three questions, and it writes the files that make Claude yours. Twenty minutes tonight, most of it you talking.

A chat: you type start, it asks three questions one at a time and writes your files

45 of the 48 phrases in my own Claude voice file were things I'd never said.

I kept a file for months that described how I talk. Last week I checked it against 11,000 words of me actually talking. A description of you is not you. That's why every "write in my voice" prompt you've tried came back sounding like a press release.

The fix wasn't a better prompt or a bigger plan. It was a file with my real sentences in it, and a way to keep it current. That's what this folder does for you, on the first night.

WHAT YOU GET

One folder. Three questions. Two files it writes for you.

The Setup folder with its seven file cards

Three questions, one at a time, the way a friend would ask. Talk or type. When you're done it writes your memory file and your voice file and hands them back. That's the setup. Everything after that is you asking for things.

BEFORE AND AFTER · ONE REAL RUN OF "EDIT THIS"

Same email. Same facts. One of them sounds like a person.

What Claude wrote

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to reach out regarding the vendor contract renewal. After careful consideration, I believe it's not just about the cost, it's about the long-term value. Let's circle back next week to align on next steps and ensure we're moving forward together.

Best regards

After "edit this," with my voice file

Hey, quick one on the vendor renewal. Not gonna lie, the cost looks fine to me. I just want to check the term length before I say yes. Can you send me the numbers by Thursday? Doesn't have to be pretty.

Thanks

Same ask, same deadline, same vendor. It cut the throat-clearing, the "it's not X, it's Y" flip, the corporate filler, and the tidy close, and it kept the hedge, because "I think we're fine" is how a person talks. That's the editor's whole job.

WHO MADE THIS

I run a one-person business on Claude and ChatGPT, and I'm not a developer.

I write about AI at work for people who aren't engineers. About 1,500 people a month land on this site looking for the same three answers: it forgets me, it doesn't sound like me, which one do I even open. I pay for both Claude and ChatGPT and use both every day. This folder is the setup I run, cut down to the pieces that matter at a job.

WHAT YOU CAN DO THE SAME NIGHT

"Edit this." Anything you wrote with AI comes back sounding like you.

  • Strips the twelve tells: the big words, the tidy last line, the "I hope this finds you well"
  • Keeps your facts, your numbers, and your hedges. "I think" and "probably" are how a person sounds
  • Two modes: a light pass that keeps your words, or a full rewrite from your voice file

"Brief me on X by Friday." A brief you can forward with your name on it.

  • Under 300 words: the short answer, what matters, what's unsure, what I'd do, sources
  • Every number sourced or cut. It says "not sure" instead of guessing, because your boss reads it
  • Every brief adds an entry to a knowledge file, so the tenth one starts from what you already found

"Why am I hitting limits." The one habit burning your plan, and one change.

  • Reads the two usage meters most people never open
  • Names the one thing eating it: the model, the long chat, the file you re-upload every morning
  • Tells you not to upgrade unless the numbers actually say so

"Remember that." It writes it down, and never makes the same mistake twice.

  • Every job ends with one question: anything to remember?
  • Corrections go in a "things you got wrong" list it reads before every answer
  • Hand it anything you actually wrote and it refreshes your voice file from your real sentences

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK ME

Is this just prompts?

No. A prompt pack gives you 500 things to paste and nothing that knows you. This is seven files your AI reads so it knows you and sounds like you. You paste one line, once.

What if it still doesn't sound like me?

Day one it's 60 to 70 percent you, and that's from three answers. Paste it one real email you sent and it climbs. If after that it still isn't you, reply to the receipt and I refund the $39.

Is this the free Starter Kit again?

No. The free kit is three bare files that stop it forgetting. This is the whole thing working: the interview that fills the files for you, the three jobs, the install page. The free kit stays free.

Do I need Claude Max?

No. Pro is fine. The interview runs once on the best model, then the cheaper model does the daily jobs. The start page tells you which to pick.

I'm on ChatGPT.

Same folder. The start page has the ChatGPT clicks. Regular Chat with a Project is enough.

How long does it actually take?

Twenty minutes the first night, and most of that is you answering three questions. After that, nothing. You just ask for things.

What happens when Claude changes the buttons again?

The start page is live and checks itself against each tool every week. You always have the current version.

Why $39?

Because it's an evening of my time per buyer at the price the folder earns. The first 50 get $39. After that it's $49.

Twenty minutes tonight, or another year of re-explaining yourself to a tool you pay for.
