Part 4 · Reference
Quick reference
The bits to keep handy. Phrases to copy, the commands you'll use daily, and what to do when something goes wrong.
Say this, word for word
Tap to copy. These phrases do the heavy lifting.
To plan before building
Let's plan this out properly so you understand the brief. Ask me clarifying questions before you start.
To fix a wrong output
That's not right — [say exactly what's wrong]. Make it better.
To lock in a workflow you like
Save this whole process as a skill — how I like it done, the mistakes you made this time, and what not to do next time.
To fix your context
Read my CLAUDE.md and I'll tell you what's out of date, then change it for me.
To save and start fresh
Commit everything from this session, then I'll exit and prime a fresh one.
Commands, every day
The five you'll actually use.
/prime
Start of every session. Loads your business and context so Claude works with the full picture.
/explore
Any new idea or build. Shapes it and asks clarifying questions before anything gets made.
/commit
End of every task. Saves, documents and backs up everything you did. One session at a time.
/task-audit
Now and then. Looks across your work and finds tasks worth automating.
/exit
To reset. Clears the context window, then /prime again to refresh and carry on.
When it goes wrong
Quick fixes for the usual frustrations.
It built the wrong thing
You skipped the plan. Next time start with /explore, or say "plan first, and ask me clarifying questions."
The output's wrong and I already sent it
Read before you send, always. Paste it back, tell it exactly what's wrong, and iterate until it's right.
It keeps getting my business facts wrong
Its context needs a correction pass. Run /prime, read your CLAUDE.md, and tell it what's out of date.
It's getting slow or burning through fast
Your context window is too full. Run /commit, start a fresh session, and /prime again.
