This both have their own important. Still wanna know about your thoughts on this!!? Something shifted in how Claude actually works — and most people haven't caught up yet. What this is: Context Engineering is the practice of building the information Claude sees before you type anything — identity files, voice profiles, reusable skills — instead of trying to write the "perfect prompt." Why it matters: A perfect prompt fixes one conversation. A context system fixes every conversation you'll ever have. That's the compounding advantage. How to do it — build these 3 files this weekend: Identity file: Your name, role, current project, decisions already made. Claude stops second-guessing obvious things. Voice file: How you write, what you find cringe, your contrarian takes. Copy-paste prompt to build it: "Interview me about how I write and think. Ask me 10 questions about my tone, my opinions, and what I hate reading online. Then write my voice profile." Anti-AI words list: Every word Claude should never use when writing as you. Start with: delve, it's worth noting, in today's fast-paced world, nuanced, tapestry. Load these into Claude's Custom Instructions or a Project. Every conversation gets dramatically better — same prompts, different context. Try this now: Open Claude. Type: "Interview me to build my voice profile. Ask me 10 questions." Spend 10 minutes on it. Save the result. That's your voice file done. What's the one word you're most tired of seeing Claude use? Drop it below — I'll add the best ones to my own list

6 months in AI feels like 6 years anywhere else Tools that were genuinely the best option earlier this year are already replaced by something better. What's the one you used religiously that you've now completely abandoned? For me it was a couple of the early image generators I was loyal to such as Midjourney. Spent months learning their quirks and prompt styles. Then Higgsfield, Nano Banana 2 and ChatGPT Image 2 came along and I haven't opened the old ones in months Curious what's in your AI graveyard right now. Drop the tool below and what replaced it.
