It's a 30-minute guided conversation with your Claude. By the end you have one root file, written in your voice, that loads every session of Claude Code from then on. The smallest version of what we build together in the cohorts.
I just sent you a one-click confirmation. Open it, click confirm, and the guided conversation lands in your inbox a moment later, with the 7-day course starting the next day.
If nothing shows up in five minutes, peek in spam. The sender is The Four Languages.
I tend to notice the same pattern from people who land here. Most of you have used Claude or ChatGPT a fair amount, sometimes a lot, and the conversations have been fine, some of them really useful, but none of them stuck around. The conversation ends and the value of it goes with it.
Most of you have also collected templates from people whose business looks nothing like yours, watched setup tutorials, thought about putting in the time to build something steadier, and then put that thought down because the next thing in your business was on fire. I get it. I was there too, for years.
If that's roughly the shape, this is the smallest version of what I do with people in the cohorts. It's free, you keep what we make, and there's no pressure on whatever comes next.
By the end of the conversation you'll have one real file, sitting in a folder called Root-System on your computer. It loads every time you open Claude Code, which is the part that's actually different from a chat. Most people setting up AI for their work skip this step entirely, and that's why their AI never quite knows them.
CLAUDE.md we're building.How you think, decide, work.
Who you serve, who you trust, how you connect.
Your rhythm, energy, capacity.
What you're here for, the deeper thing under the work.
Your file will read nothing like anyone else's. The first sentence you say in the conversation makes it yours.
A whole person speaks four, and a system that holds all four can hold a whole business.
Your strategy, expertise, decision-making. Your frameworks, your knowledge systems, the way you approach complexity.
Your people, your relationships, your creative expression. Who you care about serving, the voice you write in, what moves you to do this work at all.
Your capacity, energy, constraints. Your tools, your platforms, your physical setup. What you actually have and what you can actually do within your limits.
Why you do this, what you believe, what you refuse. Your non-negotiables, the line you draw, the manifesto underneath the business.
From the cohort
"I just finished the onboarding and I am SO excited. This thing already has so many good ideas and a list of tasks for me. So powerful."
Jasz, the day she finished her root file
And another
"It's just like with humans. If you give it a good onboarding, it's gonna be good. The root file IS the onboarding."
Lavinia, three weeks into her root system
It's also waiting in your inbox. Either way, copy this and paste it into your Claude. You're 30 minutes from your first root file.
Open the app, paste, run. The folder gets created on your machine.
Go to claude.ai/code, paste, run. Files create in the connected workspace.
Paste in any chat. Claude will write the file contents in copy-paste blocks for you to save manually.
Same root file at the start. Five completely different systems eight weeks later. Coaching practice, podcast, content engine, course platform, CRM. Theirs. Read the stories, then build yours.
More stories at client-stories. They keep building.
The root file is the seed. The summer is where the system grows around it.
