Build a 'Master Context File': A 2-Year Claude User's Second-Brain Workflow
JafarNajafov · x · 2026-10-16
After two years with Claude, the author shares a "second brain" workflow. Step 1: create a Master Context File listing your 3 core goals for the year (specific, not vague), your top 3 constraints (time, money, skills), your default blind spots, and your decision-making style (gut, data, or both). Paste it at the start of every Claude session so the model always knows your goals, patterns, and weaknesses.
