Ruben Hassid: How to set up Claude so it never forgets you

Prompts → Projects → Skills (explained in 3 mins)

Prompts = telling a stranger your job every morning.
Projects = giving a new hire a binder on day one.
Skills = training an employee once. For forever.

Step 1: Start with a Prompt (but don't stay there)

✦ Open Claude. Type your task. Get an answer.
✦ It works. But tomorrow? Claude forgot everything.
✦ You re-explain. Again. Every. Single. Chat.
✦ That's Level 1. Most people never leave it.

Step 2: Move to a Project

✦ Go to Claude .ai → Create a Project.
✦ Upload your voice file. Upload your instructions.
✦ Now every chat inside that Project knows you.
✦ Your context, style, and tone stick.

But you still have to open the right Project.
You still have to say "read my file first."

Step 3: Graduate to Skills

✦ Open Claude Cowork. 
✦ Select Opus 4.7 + Extended Thinking.
✦ Prompt: "Use the skill-creator to help me build a skill for [your most repeated task]."

Claude interviews you. Answer extensively.
"I write reports" is useless.
"I write weekly reports that start with the headline metric, 3 sections max, next steps as bullets" is a Skill.

The specificity is the skill.

Step 4: Install and test

✦ Save the Skill folder.
✦ Go to Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload.
✦ Open a new chat. Type your task normally.
✦ The Skill fires on its own. No slash command. 
✦ Claude just knows.
