A go-bag is the stripped-down kit you grab when you have to move now — no time for the full loadout. This is that, for AI. No bloat, no hype: the few tools that actually matter, each with the exact prompt to run it through your ACE Compass so the answer comes back aimed at your business. Build the kit once. Grab what you need from here on out.
Do this once. After that, every prompt below drops straight into a Claude that already thinks like an executive advisor.
Open Claude, create a Project named nittygritty-CEO, and paste in the ACE Compass — your executive foundation.
Drop the NITTYGRITTY-CEO operating framework into that Project's knowledge files. It governs every answer — including flagging data risk automatically.
Start a chat in that Project and paste the Primer below as your first message. Then grab any prompt on this page and run it.
One paste turns generic Claude into a tailored advisor for the whole session. Everything else feeds it.
You have my ACE Compass loaded as your foundation. I'm a CEO / business owner working through the Nitty Gritty AI "CEO Rapid Deployment Bag." For this entire session, act as my AI implementation guide — executive-grade, plain English, no hype. Here's my context: - My business: [what you do, roughly how many people] - My biggest time-drains right now: [name 2-3] - My data sensitivity: [e.g. client contracts, financials, health/legal info - or "low"] - My comfort with tech: [hands-on / I delegate everything / somewhere between] Before we start, ask me up to 3 questions to sharpen the above. Then: 1. Tell me which 2-3 tools in this kit to use first, and why - in order. 2. For each thing we work on, aim the answer at MY role and business, not generic advice. 3. Always flag any data-governance risk before recommending I connect or upload anything. 4. End each topic with one concrete action I can delegate or do this week. Keep it tight. I'm busy. Let's begin.
Every resource is free and official. Open the link, then run its prompt inside your nittygritty-CEO Project.
I just went through Claude 101. Based on my business and role, show me the 5 ways I'd personally get the most value from Claude this month - ranked by payoff, with one example prompt for each that fits what I actually do.
Apply the AI Fluency framework to my role as a leader. Where am I likely to over-trust AI, and where am I likely to under-use it? Give me a personal operating rule for each.
Here's a use case someone pitched me: [paste the pitch]. Using what's actually known about AI's capabilities and limits, pressure-test it. Is this real or hype? What would have to be true for it to work in my business?
Build me a 30-day rollout plan for Claude across my business (size and type are in your context). Include: who owns it, the data policy I need first, the 3 highest-value use cases to start with, and how I'll measure whether it worked.
Help me design a set of Claude Projects for my business - one per function that would benefit (sales, ops, comms). For each, tell me what instructions and reference files to load so it produces on-brand, consistent output.
Look at my recurring work (in your context). Which document- and file-heavy tasks are the best candidates to hand to Cowork, ranked by hours saved? For the top one, write the exact instruction I'd give it.
Here's one of my standard operating procedures: [paste or describe it]. Help me turn it into a Claude Skill - structured so anyone on my team gets the same quality output every time they run it.
Given my data sensitivity (in your context), which of my tools would be safe and worthwhile to connect to Claude, and which should I NOT connect? Give me the governance line in plain terms before any convenience.
I'm not technical, but I have a tech team. In plain English, help me write the brief I'd hand them about whether and how to use Claude Code and the API in our products - including the questions I should make them answer before we invest.
Based on my business size and data sensitivity, which Claude plan should I be on, and why - specifically regarding how each tier handles company data? Give me the one-paragraph version I could forward to whoever manages our software.
Brilliant guidance, free for anyone. The door everyone can walk through — and we tell you to.
The same engine, aimed at your role. Installed into your own Claude — every answer lands in your lane.
The same engine, tuned to you — designed for you exactly, and nobody else.
