Now Put Your Context Kit to Work

You have ten markdown files that capture who you are, how you work, and what matters to you. They are portable on purpose — but they do nothing sitting in your downloads folder. Here is how to wire them into the tools you already use, so every AI starts the conversation already knowing you.

Start With the Simplest Method That Fits

You don’t need all of these. Pick the one that matches how you already work and add the rest later.

Claude Projects Simplest

No setup, no servers. Upload your files once and every conversation in that project starts knowing you.

  1. Open a Claude Project, or make a new one.
  2. Add your Context Kit files to the project knowledge.
  3. Add a project instruction — “You have my context files. Use them to inform your answers, but don’t narrate what you know unless I ask. Just know me.”

Update the files in the project whenever your work changes. Stale context is worse than none.

Custom Instructions or System Prompt Works Everywhere

The universal method. Paste your context into the system prompt or custom instructions of any tool — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, anything.

<user_context>
[paste identity.md]
[paste communication-style.md]
[paste any other files that fit the job]
</user_context>

You have context about me above. Use it to inform
your responses — my role, my projects, my voice, my
preferences. Don't reference it explicitly unless I
ask. Just know me.

For tools with a character cap (ChatGPT custom instructions), use just identity.md and communication-style.md — the highest value in the smallest space.

Claude Code For Building

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md for context. Point it at your files and every session starts loaded.

## Personal Context
My Context Kit lives in ~/context-kit/. Read the
relevant files when you need to know who I am, how I
work, my current projects, or my preferences. Start
with identity.md if you only read one.

Or paste identity, communication-style, and preferences-and-constraints straight into CLAUDE.md if you’d rather not reference a folder.

MCP Resource Most Powerful

Expose your files as an MCP resource and any MCP-compatible tool pulls what it needs on its own — no copy-paste, and updates are automatic.

  1. Keep your files in one folder, e.g. ~/context-kit/.
  2. Point an MCP filesystem server at that folder.
  3. Connect any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code) and it can read your files on demand.

Start local with the filesystem server. If you want it across devices, ask Claude Code to help you stand up a small remote MCP server.

Which Files for Which Job

For a system prompt, don’t paste all ten — irrelevant context dilutes the useful kind. Match the files to the work.

A general work assistant
identity, role-and-responsibilities, current-projects, communication-style, preferences-and-constraints
Writing in your voice
identity, communication-style, domain-knowledge
Meeting prep
identity, people-and-relationships, current-projects
A strategic thinking partner
identity, goals-and-priorities, current-projects, decision-log
An AI that knows everything about you
all ten

Keep Them Sharp

Be specific, not aspirational

Describe how you actually work, not how you wish you worked. Your agents need ground truth.

Don’t skip the corrections

When the interviewer drafts a file, the fixes you make are where the real signal is. A rubber-stamped file is a mediocre one.

Short beats long

A good context file is one page, not five. Agents do better with dense, high-signal context than sprawling documents.

Keep them current

Projects change and priorities shift. A kit that’s six months stale gives your agents confident, wrong context — redo the interview when your work moves.
