Use a Loadout
with Claude

Attach the file in a chat for a one-off job, or keep it in Project Files for repeat use. Connect any declared MCP tools before starting.

RUN IT

Four controlled steps

The interface differs; the safety contract stays the same.

1

Choose chat or Project

Use a chat for one job, or add the file to Project Files for repeat use.

2

Attach `.loadout.md`

Use Add files or photos, or paste the complete Markdown.

3

Connect declared tools

Enable only the MCP or connector named by the Loadout and inspect its source first.

4

Request the suitable output

Claude can adapt among structured Markdown, a custom visual or an Artifact when those capabilities are available.

START COMMAND

Tell the client what must not drift

Paste this after attaching or pasting the Loadout.

Load this Loadout and follow it exactly.
1. Summarize Purpose, Risk, prerequisites and unavailable tools.
2. Ask only for missing inputs before doing the Steps.
3. Never skip Never, approval or Done means.
4. Use the declared output format; fall back to structured Markdown.
CAPABILITY

What is actually supported

Status separates the portable core from account-dependent capabilities.

01

Core Loadout

The chat follows the structure and workflow

Tested
02

Project

Files can remain context across multiple project chats

Supported
03

MCP

The connector must be enabled and authenticated by the user

Connected support
04

Visual

Custom visuals and Artifacts depend on product surface and settings

Multiple paths
LIMITS

Know when to stop

A correct blocked result is safer than pretending a missing capability exists.

  • Project files and chat memory are not the same thing.
  • Do not install an MCP dependency without an inspectable source.
  • Artifact or custom-visual rendering is optional, so Markdown fallback remains required.
PRIMARY SOURCES

Product facts, not assumptions

Capabilities can change; check these sources and the tested date.
