The skill under the manual, briefing any AI tool well, is the subject of my book, The Artificial Advantage, on Amazon.

- Open a new chat and have Claude already know your role, your voice and your reference files, because a Project holds them for you.
- Turn the job you keep re-explaining into a Skill that Claude picks up whenever you ask for that task in plain words.
- Connect Claude to the tools your work lives in, and learn enough of how it works, Claude Code included, to stop being surprised by it.
From Elvin M. Peters, who wrote The Artificial Advantage after a decade in marketing and $50M+ in profitable ad spend.The manual goes deep on one tool. My book teaches the skill underneath it: briefing any AI model the way you'd brief a sharp new hire.
