One prompt that sets up
Claude the way I use it.

Paste it into Claude Code or Codex. It asks about your work, then writes the rules your AI will follow from then on.

How it works.

You paste, you answer, you keep the result.

01

Paste the prompt

Open Claude Code or Codex in a folder for your work and paste it in.

02

Answer its questions

It asks what you do, what you repeat and what must never go wrong.

03

Keep the rule book

It writes a file of standing rules. Your AI reads it every time you start.

What it won’t do

It won’t make AI perfect. It makes it careful: your AI plans first, asks before risky steps and checks its own work.

Hi, I’m Isaac.

Why I’m sharing this.

My background is in networking and security. Recently, AI helped me set up my own teaching studio, from cameras to controls. That gave me a new idea: teach people to use Claude Code and Codex in their own work.

This prompt sets up the same habits my own Claude and Codex follow, in plain words you can read and change. It is where I’d start if I were setting up again.

Set it up once.
Use it every time.
