How to Use Claude Projects (Full Tutorial)

About this video

Full tutorial on Claude Projects, a custom AI workspace for keeping related chats, files and instructions together. Create a project from the Projects icon > New project, give it a name and optional description — the demo launches a brown butter salted caramel cookie for the Kevin Cookie Company — and star it for quick access in the sidebar. Add project instructions that apply across all chats in the project, such as tone, formatting, branding or workflow guidance; the demo uses starting every response with a cookie emoji to prove instructions persist without repeating them. Upload project files via the plus icon, by drag and drop, as added text, or from a GitHub repository; the demo adds customer survey results, a product pricing spreadsheet and branding notes, and Claude can then summarize feedback across chats. Files uploaded inside a single chat stay only in that chat. Existing chats can be added to, removed from or moved between projects via the three dots, and finished projects can be archived and later retrieved from Archive.

Key takeaways

• Create separate Projects for different work types, e.g. marketing, research, coding or schoolwork, to keep chats organized
• Project instructions set tone, formatting, branding or workflow once and apply to every chat in the project without repetition
• Upload documents, spreadsheets, images, PDFs and more to a project, or reference a GitHub repo, so Claude can use them across all project chats
• Files added inside an individual chat are only available in that conversation, not as project knowledge
• Star projects for quick sidebar access, move existing chats into projects via the three dots, and archive finished projects to reduce clutter
