Eight forty this morning, cereal aisle, a full scene over a toy that doesn't exist anymore. That's the backdrop. The real episode is about something bigger: every answer you get — from Claude, from anywhere — is built for a generic person, and you're the one who edits it, on your own, to fit your real values every time. Today, the fix: hand over the filter first.

One prompt, one added sentence, and the difference between generic advice and advice that already sounds like you — demoed with a parenting philosophy (Dr. Becky Kennedy), then generalized to faith, to how you and your partner communicate, to whoever's judgment you already trust, and to the simplest version of all: "the way my own mother would have handled this."

Your challenge: Pick one frame of reference that already runs your life. Take a real question you're dealing with right now and tell Claude that frame of reference before you ask.

"I'm asking about [your real situation]. When you answer, filter it through [the philosophy, person, or value you trust] — specifically, [the one or two things that means to you]."
