Working with Claude
Learn how to get the most out of Claude, from crafting crisp prompts and organizing Projects to producing standalone Artifacts and directing agentic workflows.
Like Duolingo, but for Working with Claude. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
24 levels across 4 sections, about 48 minutes end to end, roughly 10 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Getting Immediate Results, Interactive Workflows and Artifacts, Customizing and Scaling with Projects, and Reasoning and Agentic Capabilities. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in Working with Claude
- Specifying Claude's persona shapes its tone and authority
- Naming the target audience stops Claude from defaulting to generic corporate jargon
- Defining the exact task prevents Claude from rambling across related topics
- Claude can mistakenly interpret words inside reference text as new instructions if they are mixed together
- Visually separating data (using quotes, tags, or headers) keeps Claude grounded in what to do versus what to read
- Clear boundaries prevent Claude from summarizing its own directions
- Specifying output structure (e.g., bulleted list vs. memo) keeps Claude's response scannable
- Giving an exact length boundary (e.g., under 150 words) prevents Claude from over-explaining
- Setting a style constraint (e.g., casual vs. executive summary) locks in the voice on the first attempt
- Claude defaults to filling in informational gaps with generic assumptions unless told to pause
- Explicitly directing Claude to interview you first surfaces blind spots before it writes a full draft
- Claude naturally tends toward polite conversational framing unless explicitly instructed otherwise
- Negative constraints (e.g., 'Do not include introductory or concluding remarks') force Claude straight to the payload
- Clear exclusions keep Claude concise and ready for immediate copy-pasting
- Claude was specifically trained to treat XML tags as structural demarcations
- XML tags help Claude cleanly distinguish user instructions from passive background data

Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Working with Claude the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
