Claude cheat sheet from Ruben Hassid: default to Opus 5.5 on Medium, strip your custom setup

AI influencer Ruben Hassid shared a starter cheat sheet for Claude, arguing that "less setup, clearer goal" is 80% of getting good results:
- Model choice: default to Opus 5.5 on Medium reasoning — enough for most tasks; avoid High and never Max.
- Stop over-organizing: delete account-level "Instructions for Claude", turn off built-in writing Skills, and remove any Skills you uploaded about yourself.
- Opening prompt: state your goal and context (who it's for, what you have, what good looks like), then ask Claude to restate your goal in its own words and ask questions if needed.
- The cheat-sheet image adds: turn off training, drop "step by step" filler, max 3 rules then a second pass, outline slides before building, and summarize a chat before leaving it.
