# How to know in a minute whether to take an order

1. Ask Claude: "Add the contents of the downloaded file bid-or-pass.md to the end of the file ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, and if that file does not exist, create it".
2. Ask Claude: "In ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, under the heading 'What I do' write: ..., and under the heading 'What I don't take on': ...". In place of the dots, describe your business in your own words.
3. Close Claude Code and open it again: the rules are read at startup.

Check:

1. Ask Claude: "Should I take this order?" and paste the text of an order, a tender, or an offer letter you got recently.
2. In the first line Claude writes "bid now", "not now", or "pass" with one sentence why, and below it a score for each of the five measures, if the order passed the first check.
