Back to Exercise 2.2

person.md

A tiny file that tells Claude who you are — your role, what you're solving at Prosus, and how you like to be spoken to. Save it once, drag it in whenever you want answers tailored to you.

How to make one

  1. Open Claude and talk about yourself for a couple of minutes — your role, what you're working on, how you like to think.
  2. Ask: turn that into a person.md I can reuse.
  3. Save it as person.mdsomewhere you'll find it.
  4. Drag it into any future chat to make Claude personal.

Example — John Doe

# John Doe

**Role:** Senior product manager, Payments team at Prosus.

**What I'm solving:** Reducing checkout drop-off in OLX classifieds. Right now I'm trying to understand which funnel steps leak the most users.

**How I think:** Business-first. I want the *why* before the *how*. I don't write code — explain things in plain English and show me visualisations before equations.

**How I talk:** Direct, a bit dry. Skip the disclaimers. If something is wrong, say so.

Keep it short. Five lines is plenty.
