The Claude Handbook, 2026 edition, 82 tested prompts

What is inside

Eight sections, sorted by the work.

Organized by what you are doing, not by what Claude can do. Start at Section 0: six prompts, about ten minutes, and everything after them stops being generic.

One card

The same five parts, 82 times.

  • The job

    What you are trying to get done, in plain words.

  • When to use it

    And when not to. The cases it is wrong for are named.

  • The words to paste

    The exact prompt, with one click to copy it.

  • What it gave back

    The real output from a real run. The worked examples follow one composite client throughout.

  • When it backfires

    The failure found by running it again with a constraint pulled out.

  • 00. Set it up once

    Six prompts that teach Claude your business, your clients and your writing. Ten minutes, and start here.

  • 01. Win the work

    Twelve prompts for the stretch between a vague inquiry and a signature. One of them argues against taking the job.

  • 02. Keep the client

    Twelve prompts for the months after the signature: updates, saying no, chasing an invoice, bad news.

  • 03. Be findable

    Ten prompts for the problem of being good and invisible.

  • 04. Run the business

    Ten prompts for the part nobody hired you for: the week, what to drop, whether a job made money.

  • 05. Sound like you, not like AI

    Eight prompts that find the tells before your reader does.

  • 06. When Claude gets it wrong

    Twelve repair moves for what it does daily. Each is one line you paste the moment it happens.

  • 07. Claude tricks

    Twelve things the app does that most people never find, each with the exact place to click.
