Claude AI Custom Instructions: A Real Example That Actually Works

Leave a comment

Disclaimer: I used Claude to help me write this post.  I’ve been using Claude pretty heavily for a while now – coding (notice that dash, lol), project planning, research, general “help me figure this out” and perhaps most surprisingly as an evaluator of ideas and for grading performance on various tasks.

A reader sent me this screenshot that looks like Temu just handed them $1,000: It says “Reward Claimed — $1,000” and “You’ll get in App: $1,000.00.”So the obvious question: Is this actually legit… or is this one of those “too good to be true” traps?
