The document is the brief

Most of what Claude needs is already written down — somewhere.

1Drop it in

Screenshots, PDFs, CSVs, URLs, even photos of a whiteboard. Claude reads them all. Fewer words from you, more faithful output.

2Ask for options

Three variants force an editorial choice. One answer forces acceptance. The first gets you thinking; the second flattens you.

3Iterate the structure first

Fix the outline before you fix the words. Most rewrites happen because the structure was wrong, not the prose.

4Facts come from files

When numbers come from attached docs, the model can cite. When numbers come from memory, the model can invent.

Callback · the Context part of the four-part brief. When the context lives in a file, you don't have to type it. You just attach it.
