Set it up first, it takes about a minute
- Open Claude and create a new Project. A Project is a real Claude feature: a self contained workspace with its own instructions and its own memory of your files. Free accounts get five of them.
- Name it after the skill you are learning, not after Claude. "Spanish B1" or "Blender" or "Options trading".
- Open the project instructions field. This is the field that shapes every reply inside that project, and it is where Prompt 1 lives.
- Paste Prompt 1 there, with your skill written into it. Save.
- Then work inside that project only. Prompts 2, 3 and 4 get pasted into the chat, in that order, whenever you reach that stage.
One thing to get right before you start: replace every bracket. The prompts are built to be filled in, and a tutor that does not know your starting level will teach you the wrong things politely for a week.
