What this tool does
The Strategic Advisor Generator writes a custom Claude Project instructions file built around your business — your role, your tools, your decisions, your edge cases. Drop it into a new Claude Project and Claude will start advising you the way a smart strategist would: with your business context already loaded, no re-explaining required.
The BRIEF framework
BRIEF is the instruction-writing system taught in the Claude for Everyone course. It’s how you go from generic AI advice to a Claude Project that knows your business by name.
- B
Behavior
How Claude should respond — tone, structure, pacing, when to push back.
- R
Role
Who Claude is playing — strategist, advisor, second opinion, devil's advocate.
- I
Intel
What Claude needs to know — your offers, pricing, ICP, current goals, recent wins.
- E
Edges
Edge cases and constraints — things to avoid, lines not to cross, exceptions to handle.
- F
Format
How the output should be structured — bullets, tables, markdown, length, sections.
Who this is for
- Solopreneurs and founders setting up Claude as their strategic second brain
- Course students working through Module 2 of Claude for Everyone
- Teams who want one shared Claude Project that speaks for the whole business
- Anyone tired of re-explaining their business to Claude every chat

Copy it into a new Claude Project. Claude now knows your business. Start asking strategic questions.
The Project for the other half of your week.
The Strategic Advisor is the Project you open when you have bandwidth to think — pricing, positioning, the next 90 days. It assumes your brain is online.
Most weeks have other days too — the scattered ones, the spiral ones, the day you can't pick the first task. A strategist won't help you there. A different Project will.
