claude-workspace-template

A structured workspace for running Claude Code as a business tool — for research, content creation, process automation, and planning. Designed to be role- and industry-agnostic, this template is a starting point you clone and refine for your specific use case.

What This Is

This template gives Claude persistent context about who you are, what you do, and how you work. Instead of re-explaining yourself every session, you fill in a set of modular context files once — and Claude reads them automatically at the start of each conversation.

The result: Claude that acts like a well-briefed collaborator, not a generic assistant.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed and authenticated

Quick Start

• Fill in your context files

Open each file in context/ and fill in the sections that apply to you. Start with:

• context/profile.md — who you are
• context/business.md — your organization
• context/goals.md — what you're working toward right now

Leave sections blank if you don't know yet — Claude will ask as needed.

• Open the workspace in Claude Code

• Optimize your context files (recommended after initial setup)

Once you've added content, ask Claude to review and improve your context files:

See Optimizing Your Context Files below for the exact prompt.

Ask Claude to help with a task. Example prompts to get started:
