Teach Claude your club email rules once, then let anyone on staff run them

Right now the one person who knows how your club emails, distributor recaps, or shelf talkers should read is a bottleneck, and everything waits on them. Claude Projects let you write those rules down once and have every draft follow them, which takes about an hour to set up and saves the rewrite cycle on every draft after that.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt below.
  2. Swap each [bracket] for your own details. The more specific you are, the better the answer.
  3. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini and send it.

The prompt

You are helping me write a reusable instructions document that I will save into a Claude Project, so Claude follows it every time my team drafts a specific piece of writing.

My business: [winery / brewery / distillery / wine and spirits shop / distributor] in [region].
The recurring task I want to standardize: [e.g., wine club shipment announcement email / weekly distributor account recap / new arrivals shelf talker / taproom release post].
Who does it today: [role], about [number] times a month.
My brand voice in my own words: [e.g., warm, plainspoken, zero cork-sniffing, first person from the winemaker].
Things I always fix when I edit someone else's draft: [list 3 to 5, e.g., too many tasting notes, no clear ship date, subject line over 50 characters, no reason to open the bottle].
Hard rules: [e.g., always include pickup window, never use "notes of," always one call to action, no health claims].
Reference material I will attach to the project: [e.g., three past emails that sold well, our price list, wine specs].

Produce the instructions document with these sections, written as direct instructions to the AI, not as advice to me:
1. Purpose: one sentence on what this produces.
2. Inputs the user must supply each time (list them as fields to fill in).
3. Voice and style rules, stated as do and do not.
4. Required structure of the output, section by section, with word counts.
5. A worked example using a plausible [wine / beer / spirit] from my region.
6. A final checklist the AI runs on its own draft before returning it.

Then ask me up to five questions about anything you had to guess at, and tell me which of my "hard rules" are too vague to follow consistently and how to tighten them.
