# Ruben Hassid on X: The gap between you and AI

Ruben Hassid @rubenhassid The gap between you and the "AI guy at work." It's exactly 100 words. Here they are: 1. Foundations ☑ About-me file: your voice in a text file for any AI. ☑ Thinking: Claude 4.8 deciding how hard to think. ☑ Add-in: Claude inside Excel/PowerPoint. ☑ Agent: AI that takes actions, not answers. ☑ Anthropic: the company that builds Claude. ☑ Anti-AI file: all AI words and phrases in a text file ☑ AskUserQuestion: Claude interviews you first. ☑ Browser use: Claude clicking around for you. ☑ Claude 101: free intro certification. ☑ Claude Code: Claude in your terminal. ☑ Connector: one-click bridge to an app. 2. Core mechanics ☑ Context window: the max text held at once. ☑ Cowork: Claude desktop agent on your folder. ☑ Credits: your monthly token budget. ☑ Custom instructions: rules saved across chats. ☑ Cutoff: last date the training data covers. ☑ Delegation: "what to give AI." (4D) ☑ Description: "how to brief AI." (4D) ☑ Em-dash: the punctuation means "AI wrote this" ☑ Enterprise: the plan for large companies. ☑ Thinking: Claude reasoning longer. ☑ File-based: workflows in folders, not chats. 3. Tools & people ☑ Gamma: slide tool Claude calls as a connector. ☑ Granola: the AI meeting-notes app that plugs in. ☑ Haiku: Claude's smallest, fastest model. ☑ Instructions: rules you set once per project. ☑ Knowledge: files a Project always reads. ☑ Long context: reading very long documents. ☑ Markdown: .md format Claude reads best. ☑ Max: the $100-a-month personal plan. ☑ MCP: Model Context Protocol, for plugging apps ☑ Multimodal: reads text, images, PDFs together. ☑ Opus: Claude's most powerful model family. 4. Plans & prompting ☑ Opus 4.8: the current frontier Claude model. ☑ Output token: text Claude generates, also billed. ☑ Positive prompt: what to do, never what to avoid ☑ Pro: basic paid plan at $20/month. ☑ Project: a folder of chats with shared files. ☑ Prompt template: a saved, reusable prompt. ☑ Refusal: Claude declining on safety grounds. ☑ Second brain: your files as permanent memory. ☑ Send-ready: output you can ship with no edits. ☑ Session: one continuous chat, open to close. ☑ Skill: a /command that loads instructions. 5. Mastery ☑ Skilljar: the free certification academy site. ☑ Slash command: typing "/" to fire a Skill, like /47. ☑ Style file: a text file teaching Claude your voice. ☑ System prompt: the hidden instructions. ☑ Team: the plan for 5 to 150 people. ☑ Token: roughly one word; the billing unit. ☑ Tool: something Claude calls, like web search. ☑ Vision: Claude reading images and PDFs. ☑ Voice: the writing personality Claude copies. ☑ Workspace: the shared environment for a team. ☑ /47: the Skill that rewrites lazy prompts. --- To download all of my Claude infographics: 1.
