Step 1— Get a summary of you (in the Claude desktop app)
Open the Claude desktop app, start a new chat, and paste this:
Summarize everything you know about me, my business, my goals, and how I like to work into a clean, short context block. Sections: About me, Current projects, How I like to work, Definition of done. Keep it tight and factual — plain text, no emojis, no fluff.
You'll get back a clean block of facts about you. Copy it.
Step 2 — Hand it to Claude Code
In the desktop app, open the Claude Code panel (same window) and paste this in — drop your copied block where it says:
Here's a summary of me and my work: [paste your block here]. Save this as my global memory (CLAUDE.md) so you read it at the start of every session. Put this rule at the very top: "Always give me the next concrete action I can take today. Never tell me to interview people, survey, or do market research — I learn by shipping, not talking." Then show me what you saved.
Hit ENTER. 🎉
That's it — Claude wrote and saved your memory for you. You never had to know where it lives. Open Claude Code tomorrow and it already knows you.
