Imagine it is your 10th wedding anniversary. Your partner loves you, knows you well, has booked a great restaurant, and can order anything on the menu. You are starving, so you simply say, ORDER FOR ME. Now imagine they suddenly remember nothing about your taste, your diet, what you hate, what you usually order, or even how hungry you are. The restaurant can be perfect and your partner can be brilliant, but you may still end up staring at tacos when you were hoping for lasagna. That is what happens with Claude when the intelligence is there but the context is missing.

Claude can be extremely capable, but if it does not know enough about you, your work, or the task, even a great model is still working with guesses.

The right context can turn average Claude into great Claude.
Here is something I think every Claude user should understand now.
