Most AI output sounds generic because the AI knows nothing about you. These three files fix that. Half a page each. Upload them to every project you create and the AI stops starting from zero.

# about-me.md ## Role [What you do, in one or two sentences. The title matters less than the work.] ## Who I serve [Clients, customers, teams, or people who depend on your output.] ## What fills my day [The recurring work: the meetings, the writing, the decisions, the reviews.] ## What good work looks like [How you'd know a piece of work was done well. Standards, not aspirations.] ## Background [Two or three sentences. Enough for an AI to understand your perspective.] # my-voice.md ## Default tone [Direct, warm, formal, casual. Pick the two that describe you most days.] ## Structure [Short emails or detailed ones? Bullets or prose? Headers or not?] ## Words and phrases I use [The ones that show up in your writing without you thinking about it.] ## Words and phrases I avoid [Corporate filler, hedges, anything that makes you wince.] ## Examples [Paste two or three short pieces you've written that sound like you at your best.] # current-context.md ## Active projects [Two to five. One line each: what it is, where it stands, what's next.] ## Priorities this month [Three at most.] ## Key people [Name, role, and one line on how you work together.] ## Recurring meetings and deadlines [The rhythm of your week and month.] ## Constraints and preferences [Tools you use, processes you follow, things that can't change.]
what it needs
notes
Split the template above into three files. Fill in the brackets. Thirty to forty-five minutes total.
Don't overthink it. A rough version you finish beats a perfect version you don't. You'll refine them the first time an AI gets something wrong about you, and that's the right time to do it.
Keep them as plain Markdown files somewhere you can find them. Every new project starts by uploading all three.
