Write Your Assistant's Charter

Write a one-page charter for your Claude Project: a mission, voice rules you can check, three authority levels, and a no-go list, then test that it took.

What it covers

• Why standing instructions beat re-explaining yourself every chat.
• The five parts: mission, who it works for, testable voice rules, three authority levels, a no-go list.
• Writing rules Claude follows, and fixing the charter at the source when it slips.

What you'll build

Charter.md, pasted into your Project instructions and tested.
