Copy-paste prompts for 10 real tasks — with a “what to expect” note for each.
💡 How to use this template: Duplicate this page into your Notion workspace. Pick one task from the list, set up your Cowork folder, drop in the relevant files, and paste the prompt. Start with Task 1 or 2 if you’re brand new — they’re the lowest-stakes and fastest to see results.
1. Download Claude desktop app at claude.com/download
2. Open the app → click "Cowork" in the sidebar
3. Create a folder on your desktop called "Claude Cowork"
4. Click "Add Folder" and give Cowork access to that folder only
5. Drop in the files you want Claude to work with
6. Paste your prompt and let it run
⚠️ Safety rule: Only use files you’re comfortable Claude reading and editing. Always review Claude’s plan before it takes action on anything important.
What it does: Scans a messy folder and tells you exactly what’s in it and what to do with each file — before touching anything.
Drop in your folder: Any messy collection of downloaded files
Your prompt:
Scan everything in this folder. Create a summary document
listing each file, what it contains in one sentence, and
whether I should keep, archive, or delete it.
Do NOT move or delete anything yet — just give me the list
as a new document called "Folder Audit.md"
What to expect: A clean audit document in 5-10 minutes. Review it, then decide what to do next.
What it does: Reorganizes files into logical subfolders with clean, consistent names.
