A free 7-day email course

The Essential Starter Kit for Claude Cowork.

Build a Cowork workspace that actually remembers how you work, writes in your voice, and gets smarter every session.

What you’ll build

A Cowork workspace that remembers how you work.

In seven days, you’ll add instructions, memory, writing rules, workstations, routing, a project, and a session audit.

Your instructions and memory

Set up two starter files that tell Cowork who you are, how you work, and what to remember.

You stop re-explaining yourself every time you sit down.

You getCLAUDE.mdMEMORY.md

Writing rules in your voice

Turn your own writing samples into reusable principles Cowork can apply to new drafts.

Your first drafts sound closer to you.

You getVoice principles.mdExtraction prompt

Two workstations from your data

Create Email HQ and Personal Finances, each with its own rules, memory, and resources.

Recurring work starts from the right context.

You getEmail HQ/Personal Finances/

Your first Cowork project

Give one time-bound initiative its own instructions and memory inside a parent workstation.

You resume work where you left off instead of starting over.

You getProject prompt

A starter session audit

Review each session for useful corrections and context that should survive into the next one.

You stop making the same correction twice.

You getsession-audit skill

The system that ties it together

Add routing and simple file relationships so Cowork knows what belongs where.

You get a foundation you can keep building on.

“The MEMORY.md system is the thing that actually changed how I work. I used to start every session by re-explaining context, background, decisions made last month. Now Claude just knows.”

The 7-day plan

One practical build. One immediate result.

The sequence starts with persistent context, then adds voice, workstations, routing, projects, and a way to keep improving.

Days 1–2

Make Cowork yours

Add instructions, memory, and writing rules.

New sessions start informed and first drafts sound like you.

Days 3–5

Put it to work

Build Email HQ, Personal Finances, and one project with routing.

Recurring work starts in the right place and resumes where you left off.

Days 6–7

Make it compound

Install the session audit, then choose what to build next.

Useful corrections survive, so your foundation keeps improving.

“Didn’t expect to get so much out of a free email list. By the end of the week I had a real system with focused workstations for email, Slack, finances, travel, business comms. You don’t just finish your work, you leave the system a little better each time. It compounds fast.”

“Insane value. I wasn’t sure at first if this was for me because I had already followed so much of Jeff’s instructions from his YouTube videos. But this course really helped me to take my setup a few levels higher.”
