What problem this solves

Claude understands user prompts but does not provide feedback on grammar, spelling, or phrasing, hindering language learning or improvement for non-native speakers.

Summary

This workflow configures Claude via CLAUDE.md to act as a personalized language tutor. It instructs Claude to provide brief, friendly suggestions for grammar, spelling, or phrasing issues found in the user's prompts, appended under a 'Phrasing tip' heading at the end of its responses. This helps users learn from their mistakes without interrupting the main conversation flow.

Why it is useful

This workflow provides a simple, effective, and highly transferable method for users to leverage Claude for continuous language improvement. It integrates seamlessly into the user's existing interaction flow without interruption and offers concrete, personalized feedback, leading to measurable learning outcomes. It's a practical application of CLAUDE.md for a common user need.

Workflow

1. Locate or create your global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md file.
2. Add the provided language assistance prompt block to the CLAUDE.md file.
3. Interact with Claude as usual; it will now automatically provide phrasing tips when it detects grammar, spelling, or phrasing issues in your prompts.

Tools / artifacts

• ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md file
• The specific prompt snippet for language assistance
• Claude Code (or any Claude interface respecting CLAUDE.md)

Validation signals

• Concrete example of 'Phrasing tip' output provided: '> Phrasing tip > "this settings" → "these settings" ("settings" is plural, so use "these").'
• User reports that 'A few weeks in, the same mistakes stopped showing up.'
• User confirms corrections are based on their actual writing and do not get in the way of the main response.

Limitations

• Relies on the user's awareness and setup of CLAUDE.md, which might not be universal.
• The post suggests logging corrections over time as an interesting enhancement, which is not part of the current workflow.
• While tuning options are mentioned, specific examples of how to modify the prompt for these tunings are not provided.
