Set Up Claude Once for Your Firm
The "always-on" file that makes Claude remember GGP's rules, your style, and your context across every conversation.
DemoM4 -- Tue May 12, closing ~15 min
What we cover
- What CLAUDE.md is in plain English (and why it's not a developer-only tool)
- GGP's firm-level CLAUDE.md draft -- what's in it, what's not
- How to add a personal CLAUDE.md layer for your own role
- The memory/ folder pattern for skills that learn from past runs
Why it matters
Without this, every Claude conversation starts from zero. With it, Claude knows your firm's rules, your DealCloud conventions, your no-go list -- before you say a word.
Hands-on moment
Pull up the GGP firm CLAUDE.md handout. Write one rule you wish Claude knew about your work. Read it to a neighbor. Mike collects the best ones for the firm-level file.
Peer moment (3 min)
“What's one thing you've explained to Claude three times this week? That's a CLAUDE.md candidate.”
