Understand what a Project gives you

A Claude Project is a workspace with a memory: standing instructions, reference documents, and connected tools all apply to every chat inside it. That is the difference between asking Claude

Checkpoint

You can name the three ingredients: tools, instructions, and your reference docs.

Before you begin

Tick these off as you sort them. Stopping halfway to create an account is how a fifteen-minute build becomes an hour.

  • Account

    Projects and connectors are available on Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. The free tier is not enough for this setup.

  • Account

    The brief is only as good as the data. Connect the Gmail and Calendar you use every day, not a side account.

  • Know-how

    You will write a short set of standing instructions. Knowing whether you want meetings first or deep work first makes the brief genuinely useful from day one.

  • Time

    Ten to connect and configure, ten for the first brief and calibration.

The basics — ticked once, remembered everywhere

  • Account

    Either the hosted version or a self-hosted install. Everything here works the same on both — the only visible difference is the shape of your webhook URLs.

  • Know-how

    Adding a node, connecting two of them, and pressing Execute. If any of that is new, the free primer covers it in about ten minutes.

  • Credential

    You will paste at least one secret during setup. A password manager beats a notes app, and it stops you pasting a live key into a chat window by accident.

The shape of the setup

The Claude features you will touch, left to right, in the order you use them.
