What it is
The Mini Context Card is a free, one-page fill-in sheet with five short questions about you. Your answers become a short personal context file: a few lines you paste into any AI chat or save in its settings, so the assistant starts from who you are instead of from zero.
Who it's for
Anyone who uses ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok and is tired of re-typing their job, their projects and how they like answers in every new chat. No technical skills needed.
The problem it solves
Every new AI chat starts from zero, so answers come back generic, full of blanks, in the wrong tone. Built-in memory decides on its own what to keep. The card gives you a short file you write once, control yourself, and can reuse in any assistant.
What's inside
- About me: who you are in 1 to 2 sentences (name, where you're based, what you do).
- What I'm working on: 2 to 3 current projects or goals.
- How I like answers: format, length and tone.
- Things to avoid: habits that waste your time, like needless disclaimers.
- Tools I use: so suggestions fit your setup.
Each question comes with a short filled-in example, plus tips on length and what to leave out.
How to use it in 3 steps
- Download the card from Gumroad (free).
- Fill in the five questions. Keep the whole thing under about 1,000 characters.
- Load it into your AI. Paste it at the start of a new chat, or save it in ChatGPT Custom Instructions, Instructions for Claude, Instructions for Gemini, or Grok's customization settings. Our setup guides show where each setting lives.

How is it different from the full Context Kit?
The free card is a one-page starter with five prompts. The full Context Kit (pay what you want, $19 suggested, $9 minimum) adds a 10-section template, a finished example, a setup guide for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok, and an interview prompt where the AI asks you questions and drafts the file for you.
