Prompt 03: Install (or repair) the global rule
Module 01 · Set Up Your Command Center · The Prompts Pack
This is the piece that makes every Claude session, in every project, follow the same contract automatically, including projects you create next year. Prompt 01 already does this; use this one if you built your structure another way, or to verify and repair it. Paste below into Claude Code anywhere.
The prompt to paste
Click the box to select it, then press ⌘C (or Ctrl+C)
Make every Claude session in every project read and write my Command Center automatically. My command center is at `<projects-root>/command-center/` (use your real path).
1. Open my global instructions at `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. Create the file if it does not exist.
2. Check whether it already contains a Command Center section (search for the text `command-center/STATE.md`).
- If it does: show it to me and confirm the path is correct. Fix the path if it is wrong. Do not duplicate the section.
- If it does not: add this section near the top of the file, with `<projects-root>` replaced by my real path:
```
## Command Center (READ FIRST, every session, every project)
All Claude work across all projects is coordinated through `<projects-root>/command-center/`.
- Session start: read `command-center/STATE.md` (what is in flight everywhere + who owns what). If the current project is not in `command-center/PROJECTS.md`, register it: `command-center/bin/cc-register.sh "$(pwd)"`.
- During: update a workstream's row in `STATE.md` when you start, finish, or block it. Never work a workstream another session owns. Note it in `STATE.md` and tell me to relay a prompt to that session.
- Session end: append a dated entry to `command-center/log/<date>-<project>.md` and update your `STATE.md` row.
- Canonical cross-project facts (IDs, agent roster, runbooks) live in `command-center/shared/`. Trust those over copies found elsewhere.
`STATE.md` is the source of truth for everything happening outside the current session.
```
3. Tell me exactly what you changed, and confirm the path points at my real command center.
