Ask Claude for the same report twice and you'll get two ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ answers.

That's fine for brainstorming & fast analysis.

It's a problem when it's your weekly/monthly client report.

Here's the fix I use every week ๐Ÿ‘‡

1๏ธโƒฃ ๐——๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—น๐˜†. Get to an output you actually like, with your edits.

2๏ธโƒฃ ๐—”๐˜€๐—ธ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ. "Go through everything we just did. Drop the parts I didn't like. Write the framework."

3๏ธโƒฃ ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น. Now it's a slash command.

4๏ธโƒฃ ๐—ฅ๐˜‚๐—ป ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†. Tell it the profile and anything new, and send it off.

๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ณ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„. ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐˜. ๐—˜๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ธ.

Pro tip: integrate context scrapes into your reporting workflows that review your emails, recent client call transcripts, and Slack messages to pull in relevant, recent topics.

What's the first report you'd turn into a skill?
