Try it yourself · Level 2

Where: Claude Code, in a folder on your computer. When: you paste the same prompt every week.

1. Make a folder for the job, with your export in data/.
2. Open Claude Code in that folder.
3. Ask Claude to write her job description, CLAUDE.md, with you. Use your Level 1 prompt as the starting point.
4. Ask Claude to set her rules in .claude/settings.json: what she may read, write and never do.
5. Give her the task, and ask for her plan first. Read the plan, then say go.

What to ask Claude

To write her job description:

Help me write a CLAUDE.md for this folder. The job: [the report], every [day], for [who reads it].
Here is the prompt I use today: [your Level 1 prompt].
Include what she produces, where things live, the exact definition of each number, and the limits.
Ask me what you need to know.

To set her rules:

Set up .claude/settings.json so you can read data/ and write outputs/ only.
Never delete files, never browse the web, never send email.

To run it:

Build this week's [report] from the export in data/. Follow CLAUDE.md. Show me your plan first.

What to check

• The plan says which files it reads and writes, and what it will not do.
• Every number comes from a script or from the file, never from her own math.
• She stops and asks when something doesn't match.
