25 Claude hacks I wish I knew before wasting months figuring them out the hard way.
If you are using Claude (or thinking about it), save this post.
These are the tips that actually moved the needle for me — not the generic "write better prompts" advice you see everywhere.
My top 3:
Do not give it steps. Give it the goal. Let it work out how.
The about-me file changes everything — it finally remembers who you are and what you do.
Make it audit its own answer before you trust it. It sounds confident even when it is wrong.
All 25 are in the carousel. Save it, share it, tag someone who needs to see this.
What would you add to the list?
