claudeholic.me

Claudeholic.me is an unofficial self-assessment for people who open Claude to ask one question and end up spending hours refining prompts. It presents a checklist of symptoms and guides users through stages of recovery with a manifesto and bulletins from the fictional Department of Prompt Health.

The site opens with a dependency check that estimates time lost as shorter than the current prompt. It lists known causes such as curiosity and the phrase "while I have you," along with a prognosis that is probably fine if the user hydrates. A self-assessment section asks visitors to mark statements that feel uncomfortably specific, all of which remain in the browser. The checklist covers behaviors in the past seven days including asking Claude to explain code written yesterday, pasting errors before reading them, asking it to name variables not yet created, saying please because the machines may remember, asking Claude to write prompts for Claude, optimizing prompts more carefully than a sleep schedule, holding opinions about context windows, maintaining a folder called prompts-final-final, referring to a new chat as a clean room, installing an MCP server to avoid clicking twice, having a preferred model for different kinds of emotional weather, and reading release notes.

Navigation links lead to sections on stages, recovery, a manifesto, and bulletins from the Department of Prompt Health including the Bureau of Context Hygiene and Case file 001 with status still typing. The page describes itself as not a medical instrument and barely an instrument, with form DPH-12 revised whenever a new model drops. It is delivered as a web page at claudeholic.me that requires no login or installation.
