Tips that make these prompts work
Put standing instructions and reference files in a Project once, instead of pasting them into every chat.
Ask for an artifact when you want something reusable: a calculator, dashboard, checklist or deck.
Install custom skills only from trusted sources, as Anthropic advises.
Use business plans for company data and follow your data protection rules.
Check every number and quote against the source file.
