How to Use Claude Projects Effectively
The Oxford AI School
Use fictional or approved information. Replace placeholders and check results.

Project instructions to adapt
This Project supports [specific recurring job] for [audience].
Use British English, short paragraphs and concrete examples.
Use the dated approved facts supplied in this Project. Identify conflicts rather than choosing silently.
Use the example for tone and structure, not for its old facts.
If a price, date or promise is missing, flag it. Do not invent it.
Produce drafts for human review. Never describe a draft as approved.
Check: Check that the rules fit this particular job. Remove placeholders before saving.

A ten-minute Project check
Using this Project’s reference files, draft a 120-word customer update about [topic].
List the files used and the source facts supporting any dates, prices or commitments.
Put missing details under “Questions to resolve”.
Then check the draft against the Project instructions and identify any rule it has not met.
Check: Open the named files yourself. A file list is useful evidence to inspect, not proof of accuracy.
