What's in every issue

  1. One change in Claude that matters

    Explained in plain English, with a link to Anthropic's own page and the date we checked it.

  2. One prompt to copy

    For a real task: a weekly report, a customer email, a quote, a page for your website.

  3. One tip or fix

    A mistake to avoid, or a lesson we updated because Claude changed.

A prompt from issue #1

Rough call notes into a client quote. Put your notes and your price list in one folder, open it in Claude, and paste this. Then read the draft line by line before you send it: Claude can misread a note, you know the client.

Prompt
This folder has my notes from a client call and my price list.
Draft a quote for this client as a new file called quote-draft.md.

- Use only services and prices from my price list. Do not invent prices.
- List each item with quantity, unit price and line total, then a subtotal.
- Add a short scope section: what is included and what is not.
- If anything in my notes is unclear or missing (dates, quantities,
  address), list it under "Questions for me" at the top instead of guessing.
- Plain, friendly tone. No sales language.
- Do not change or delete any existing files.

Why it's worth 3 minutes

  • Checked, not copied

    Every fact links to Anthropic's own page, with the date we checked it. No rumors, no hype.

  • Only what changes your work

    We skip developer news. You hear about a change only if it affects your steps, your plan or your data.

  • Our lessons stay current

    When Claude changes, we fix our lessons and guides and tell you which ones. See our change log.
