How to use a portfolio prompt with Claude / Claude Code
In Claude, paste the brief with your role, two or three real projects, approved screenshots and the intended audience. Ask for a page outline first, then a working draft. Replace every placeholder and check all claims.
In Claude Code, start in your project directory. Ask it to read repository instructions, inspect the framework and reuse existing components. Build one complete case study before expanding. Run the project checks and review mobile layout, keyboard navigation, asset rights and the contact flow.
