The AI Setup That Finally Clicked For Me
You cannot break anything. Here is what I did.
Most physicians use AI like Google. There is a better way — and it takes one afternoon. I built it. Here is how it works — and what paid subscribers get to skip straight to.
Let me start with the thing nobody says: you cannot break anything. There is no wrong folder name, no wrong file, no configuration that locks you out or crashes something. The worst that happens is the system does not know who you are yet. That is fixable in five minutes.
I say this because I trained before computers existed, and I built this setup myself. If I can do it, so can you.
The setup has six steps. The first three are free. The last three — including the exact files I use and the one prompt that runs my entire workflow — are for paid subscribers.
Here is where we start.
First: Get the right app
Go to claude.com/download. Download the desktop app. Install it like any other program.
When it opens, look at the top of the screen. You will see three tabs: Chat, Cowork, and Code.
Click Cowork. That is where we are working.
If you have been using Claude in your browser, this is different. The browser version does not have Cowork. You need the desktop app.
Second: Make one folder with three folders inside it
On your computer — Desktop, Documents, wherever you keep things — create a new folder. Name it anything. I called mine “Claude Cowork.”
Inside that folder, make three more folders. Name them exactly: ABOUT ME, OUTPUTS, TEMPLATES.
That is the whole structure. You are done with this part.
Third: Understand what the three files do
Inside the ABOUT ME folder, you will put three short documents about yourself. The system reads them before every task — before you type a single word. That is what makes the output sound like you instead of like a press release written by someone who has never met you.
File one tells it who you are.
File two tells it what you never want to see.
File three tells it what you are working on right now.
Writing these files is the actual work of the setup. It takes about thirty minutes the first time. After that, you update them once a quarter.
What goes in them exactly — the structure, the language, the things that actually change the output — is what paid subscribers get below.
Below is everything you need to finish the setup in one sitting: the exact structure of all three files, word-for-word instructions for each one, the Global Instructions text ready to paste, and the first prompt I speak every morning to start my workflow.
If you have been thinking about upgrading, this is a good moment. The files alone will save you two hours of trial and error.
