Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up a project in Claude?

Create a new project, upload relevant documents (e.g., resume, job descriptions), and write a tight custom instructions paragraph as a constraint sheet.

What is the best way to use custom instructions?

Treat it as a constraint sheet, not a wish list. Be specific about persona, rules, and preferences. Aim for ~150 words per project.

What is the difference between basic research and deep research?

Basic research searches the web in ~30 seconds for quick facts. Deep research takes 5-10 minutes, reads dozens of sources, and builds a structured brief.

How do I connect Claude to my external tools?

Use MCP (Model Context Protocol). Go to Settings > Customize > Connectors, authorize apps like Google Calendar, Slack, Notion, or GitHub.

What can Claude Code do that regular chat cannot?

Claude Code can read, edit, and create files on your machine directly. It can update multiple files in one pass and run commands as you watch.

What is claude.md and why is it important?

claude.md is a file placed at the project root that tells the agent the project's purpose, stack, conventions, and guardrails. It prevents the agent from guessing.

How do I collaborate with others in Claude?

Use Cowork. It provides a shared workspace where multiple users see the same project documents, memory, and custom instructions.

How can I avoid wasting tokens when using Design?

Plan and refine your prompt in regular chat first. Only bring the final brief into Design to generate visuals, cutting token usage by more than half.

What is a routine and how do I set one up?

A routine is an automated task that runs on a schedule or event trigger. Go to Routines tab, create new, pick model, write prompt, and choose remote for 24/7 execution.

What common mistake do people make with Design?

Vibe designing without a design system. Instead, import a screenshot of a site you like to reverse-engineer a system, then all outputs stay on-brand.
