CLAUDE.md Builder · Free · 15 minutes

Teach Claude who you are.

Every new chat, Claude starts from zero. Paste one line, and Claude interviews you like a curious new teammate. Then it writes a short note about you that it reads every time. You never explain yourself twice.

Help me write my CLAUDE.md. Run curl -fsSL https://claude-md.vmcgpt.com/start.md and follow what it says.

Paste it into Claude Code (the Code tab in the Claude desktop app, or the terminal). When Claude asks to run curl, choose Yes.

How it works

No downloads. No setup. One line, one conversation, one file you approve.

01

Paste the line

Claude grabs the interview script from this page. Nothing gets installed.

02

Get interviewed

One question at a time. Pick a style: a celebrity, a guessing game, or Claude reads your chats to learn how you talk.

03

Lock in your values

A quick round of "this or that." Your answers shape everything Claude writes for you.

04

Approve and save

You see the whole file first. Nothing is saved until you say yes. Old files get a backup.

This or that.

Here's a taste of the values round. Tap a side and watch the note write itself.

The real interview tunes these to you.

Speed vs. quality

With my people

How we persuade

When they pull apart

CLAUDE.md ## My values - (tap a side) - (tap a side) - (tap a side) - (tap a side)   ## How to work with me - Just go. Show me, I'll redirect. - One question at a time.

What your CLAUDE.md knows

A short note, under 50 lines, in your own words. Claude reads it at the start of every session.

About me

Who you are

Your role, what you're proud of, what you're working toward and what matters most.

My values

What you stand for

Locked in with "this or that," so Claude writes and decides the way you would.

Work style

How to work with you

Check in first or just go. Short or detailed. What to do when you're tired and need solutions.

Guardrails

Never without asking

Sending messages, spending money, deleting things, publishing. You set the list.

Your voice

How you talk

Claude learns your style, the words you love and the ones that bug you.

Getting smarter

No repeat mistakes

When you fix Claude's work, it proposes a rule so the same mistake doesn't happen twice.

Questions

The short answers.

Do I need to be technical?
No. You paste one line and have a conversation. "I don't know" and "skip" are fine answers.
Does it work in the regular Claude chat?
No. It needs Claude Code, because Claude has to save a file on your computer. In the Claude desktop app, that's the Code tab. The regular chat can't save files.
I already have a CLAUDE.md. Will this wipe it?
No. Claude reads what you have, offers a quick checkup, and only changes what you agree to. It saves a dated backup first.
What does the curl part do?
curl is a tool built into every Mac and Windows computer that downloads a web page. Here it fetches the interview script, a plain text file you can read right here. Nothing is installed.
Is it private?
Your answers stay between you and Claude, like any chat. If you pick "read my chats," Claude reads only the messages you typed, on your own computer, to learn how you talk. This page counts how many times the script is fetched, and nothing else.
How do I update it later?
Paste the same line again, and Claude picks up from the file you have. Or just tell Claude in any chat: "add this to my CLAUDE.md."

Credit where it's due.

This builder is adapted from the original by Alex Dobrenko, made for his course Code for Creatives. The warm, one-question-at-a-time interview is his. This version adds the "read my chats" option, the values round and a menu of proven rules.

The CLAUDE.md is just Week 1. In six weeks, Alex teaches non-programmers to build websites, skills and a personal AI chief of staff with Claude Code.
