Target outcome
One artifact worth using by close.
Everyone leaves with a Project, durable preferences, one real-work prompt, and a reusable output they can take back to the team.
StartChoose a real Car-Mart work lane.
ShapeUse prompt patterns to control quality and format.
ShipSave the useful output and the reusable prompt.
1. Pick the work lane
No setup lecture. We start from a real task and use Claude as the drafting partner, not the subject of the meeting.
01Name one task from this week.
02Choose the output format you can reuse.
03Keep Car-Mart judgment as the final check.
2. Five prompt patterns
These are the muscle memory for better outputs.

3. Projects make it repeatable
A Project is Claude with context: instructions, knowledge files, and conversation history.
P1Name a Project after real work.
P2Add 3–5 lines of Project Instructions.
P3Attach one useful reference file if you have it.
4. The workout proves T2
Pick one real task from this week. Prompt Claude. Iterate once. Save the prompt.
AReal work, not a demo.
BOutput you would actually use.
COne concrete commitment before close.
