Prompting Starter Kit
The before and after prompts from my video, a pass or fail checklist and three free Claude Code tools: a rules slimmer, a usage meter and a poll guard.
This is the kit from my video on the three rules for talking to Claude: say what you want in plain English, pick the effort on purpose, and tell Claude how to check its own work. I used one task for the whole video, turning a video transcript into a newsletter. The kit has that prompt and the tools I tested it with.
From the video Use My Three Rules to Make Your Claude 100X Better in 12 Minutes.
What is inside
- The before and after prompts: the old role, goal and steps version next to the plain one
- A pass or fail checklist, with the one line that makes Claude show its checks
- The rules slimmer: finds your CLAUDE.md files, saves a backup and shows a shorter version as a diff before anything is written
- The usage meter: shows what each Claude Code session cost, so you see which jobs eat your usage
- The poll guard: stops Claude from checking again and again while it waits, since every check reads the whole conversation again
Here is your kit

Next, look out for the welcome email from my newsletter. Over ten days it sends five short emails, each with one thing to build.
