CRAFT Tutorials · Getting Started · 11 of 12
A cheatsheet is your one-page map of everything CRAFT can do — every recipe, with the plain words that trigger it. When you can’t remember how to ask for something, the cheatsheet is where you look.
Earlier we said you don’t memorize recipes — you look them up. The cheatsheet is where you look them up. It’s the menu for the whole kit: each recipe alongside the natural phrase that runs it.
Where it lives
Your kit includes two of them, in the cheatsheets/ folder:
CFT-FWK-CHEATSH-COWORK— the everyday recipes you’ll use most.CFT-FWK-CHEATSH-CORE— the underlying engine recipes.
You can open them like any file — or skip the folder entirely and just ask:
What recipes can I use here?
✓ You’ll know it worked when Claude walks you through what’s available — the recipes and the plain phrases that trigger them — right there in the conversation.
How to use it
Think of the cheatsheet as a reference, not homework. You don’t read it front to back. When you think “I bet CRAFT can do this,” glance at the cheatsheet (or just ask Claude), find the trigger phrase, and use it. That’s the whole loop.
The beginner’s shortcut: you can ignore the cheatsheet entirely at first and just describe what you want — Claude finds the recipe for you. The cheatsheet is there for the moments you want to discover what else is possible.
🎉 That’s the everyday toolkit. You can now start a project, work in it, run recipes, call personas, do research, save your progress, resume cleanly, and look anything up on the cheatsheet — everything you need for real, ongoing work with CRAFT. One more post to go: Tutorial mode — a built-in guide that can walk you through all of this, right inside Claude, whenever you want a refresher.
