A ready-to-use prompt that audits your CLAUDE.md against Anthropic's six checks

dr_cintas · x · 2026-08-31

Companion to the previous post: a complete, copy-paste audit prompt. Paste your CLAUDE.md or system prompt, and the model sorts every line against Anthropic's six checks—absolute rules, teaching by example, upfront cramming, repeated instructions, manual memory logging, written descriptions—and flags lines safe to cut. It deliberately doesn't rewrite the file; it only reviews line by line, leaving deletion decisions to you.
