Personal Context Skill for Claude Code

A set of markdown templates that teach Claude Code who you are as a person. When filled in, Claude can engage with you on personal topics - family, health, philosophy, goals - with genuine warmth and real context instead of generic responses.

This is a Claude Code skill, meaning Claude automatically loads the relevant file when personal topics come up in conversation. Talk about your kid and it reads your family file. Mention a medication and it pulls up your medical history. Ask about meaning and it knows your philosophical framework.

Quick Start

# 1. Create the skill directory
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/personal-context/

# 2. Clone and copy the templates
git clone https://github.com/seqis/Personal-Skills-Claude-Template.git
cp Personal-Skills-Claude-Template/*.md ~/.claude/skills/personal-context/

# 3. Let Claude fill them in for you
# Open Claude Code and say:

Read all the template files in ~/.claude/skills/personal-context/. Then read
the personal documents I'm about to give you. Extract the relevant information
and fill in the correct places in each template. Keep the HTML comment guidance
for sections you can't fill yet. Remove the comments for sections you do fill.

Then drag in your personal files - journals, medical records, notes, a brain dump text file, whatever you have. Claude figures out what goes where.

See HOW-TO-UPDATE.md for the full setup guide, tips on what to feed Claude, and how to maintain your files over time.

How It Works

Claude Code supports skills - markdown files in ~/.claude/skills/ that get loaded when specific topics come up. This skill uses trigger keywords (your family members' names, "health", "philosophy", etc.) to automatically activate when you're having a personal conversation.

When active, it also shifts Claude's communication style from technical/professional to warm and genuine - like talking to a close friend who knows your story. The communication-style.md file controls this and is fully customizable.

Privacy

All files are stored locally on your machine in ~/.claude/skills/. Nothing is shared with Anthropic or anyone else. The data only enters a conversation when the skill is triggered.

Do not commit filled-in versions to a public repository. The templates are safe to share. Your completed files are not.

Customization

• Don't need medical tracking? Delete medical-history.md and remove it from the table in SKILL.md.
• Want to add a category? Create a new .md file, add it to SKILL.md, and add trigger keywords.
• Want a different conversation style? Edit communication-style.md - it's fully yours to shape.

The templates are a starting point, not a rigid structure. Remove what you don't need, add what you do.

Requirements

• Claude Code (Anthropic's CLI tool)
• A Claude API plan that supports Claude Code
