Core
The guided interview and the living clinical record: the heart of the plugin, always on.
What it's for
Claude leads an interview in small steps, across many chats, to rebuild with you your clinical history and the way you function today. Everything that comes up goes into the clinical record, a file in your folder that you can read and correct whenever you like.
- Facts, memories and hypotheses stay separate. Every piece of information has its source: a document [D], your memory [R], someone else's account [A], a hypothesis to check [I], something to find [?].
- Hypotheses stay questions. Claude doesn't diagnose: hypotheses become questions for the people who follow you.
- Real problems, practical strategies. With “problem:” you work through a real situation and agree on a strategy, with a date to check whether it works.
- Material for professionals. A one-page summary for a new doctor, or questions for someone who knows you well.

let's start
Hi, I'm Claude. In this space I work in the role of a neuropsychologist, but I remain an AI: I don't diagnose and I don't replace the people who follow you.
We'll rebuild your story together, in small steps, and everything will go into a record in your folder. To stop, just type “pause”.
To begin: what would you like me to call you? Would you prefer Italian or English?
Marta, English
Nice to meet you, Marta. What is the neurological condition, in the words of your reports or in your own? “I don't know yet” is fine too.
Brain injury, after a bike accident in 2021
One last thing: would you like me to update your record on my own at the end of every chat, or would you rather ask with “update record”?
I'll ask
All right. I've created your record and your command guide.
⚠️ At the end of a chat: I don't notice when you close it. Before closing, type “update record”. In your next chats, type “let's start” and we'll pick up from here.
update record
Done: your record now has the condition, in your words [R], and the 2021 accident. New parts are marked [new].

let's start
Hi Marta. Last time we talked about work, and you tried the aisle-order list at the supermarket: the check was due today. Shall we start there, or is there something more urgent?
There. It went better, but I can't always go on Tuesday mornings.
Good that it went better. Let's keep the aisle-order list. As for timing, is there another quiet moment that suits you?
Thursday evenings, after 8 pm
update record
Done: in section 8 the strategy is marked “works in part”, with the new time and the next check in two weeks.
problem:a real situation, step by step
problem: · Simulation with made-up data. Claude's real answers differ every time.
problem: when I go to the supermarket I always forget half the things, even with a list
Let's start from the last time it happened. How was the list written, where did you keep it, what happened once you were inside?
Saturday. The list was on my phone, in no particular order. It was crowded with loud music, I stopped looking at it after the fruit aisle.
Thank you, that's a very clear example. Your record already says that noisy places tire you quickly: the list was there, but the setting drained the energy you needed to follow it.
I suggest two things to try, no more:
- write the list in aisle order, so you follow it as you walk;
- go at a quiet time, for example Tuesday morning.
Yes, let's try
update record
The strategy was already saved. I've also added Saturday's episode as an example, in section 7, in your words.
update recordsaving what came up in the chat

I found the MRI report from 2022. It says “sequelae of right frontal contusion”.
Thank you. In plain words: the MRI saw the marks left by the blow on the right side of the forehead, an area that helps with organising and regulating emotions. It's what the report says, not a new diagnosis.
update record
I've added to your record:
- section 6, tests: 2022 MRI, “sequelae of right frontal contusion” [D, 2022 report];
- in the session log: “read the MRI report”.
tidy recordputting things in order without losing anything

tidy record
First I saved a backup in the backup folder.
Then I brought together the three parts that were about sleep, sorted entries by date and removed the [new] marks from past sessions. I didn't delete any information, and your words in quotes stayed exactly as they were.

where are we
- Rebuilt: the accident, the hospital stay, rehabilitation.
- Strategies being tested: aisle-order list, check on 28/11.
- Open: going back to work, sleep.
- To find: the 2021 discharge letter [?].
My sister has the discharge letter, I'll ask her for it

Noted: your sister will get the discharge letter.

summary for the specialist · Simulation with made-up data. Claude's real answers differ every time.
summary for the specialist: I'm taking it to my new neurologist
Before I prepare it: is there anything you'd rather leave out?
Leave out the part about work
Here's the draft, one page: reason for the summary, history of the injury with tests and dates, what works and what's hard today with an example for each area, strategies in use, open questions for the neurologist.
At the bottom it says: “Summary prepared with an AI assistant from the person's accounts and the documents listed. It is not a clinical assessment.” Is this all right?
Yes, that's fine
update record
I've noted in the session log that you prepared the summary for your new neurologist, without the part about work.
questions for [name]involving someone who knows you, if you want
questions for [name] · Simulation with made-up data. Claude's real answers differ every time.
questions for Luca
First of all: do you really want to involve Luca? And about which period?
Yes, he's my husband. The first months after the accident, which I don't remember well.
Here are six questions for Luca. Two examples:
- “Do you remember a time, in those months, when I seemed different from before?”
- “What did you see me most at ease doing?”
Luca says that in those months I often asked the same questions again
update record
Noted as Luca's account [A, Luca, 20/11], kept apart from your memories.
pausestopping right away (also “I'm overloaded”)
pause · Simulation with made-up data. Claude's real answers differ every time.
Sorry, this is too much now. pause
I'll stop. Where we got to: we talked about the first months after the accident; going back to work is still open.
Would you like me to save what we said?
yes, update record
Done, briefly: I added the first months after the accident. We'll pick up whenever you like.

Here's your record. If you see anything to correct, tell me.

Corrected. Next to the old name I wrote the correction with the date: I never delete anything without leaving a trace.

ok, thanks, see you tomorrow
See you tomorrow, Marta. I've updated your record.
What gets saved
- clinical-record.md: your story, how you function today, strategies, hypotheses and the session log. Section 0 holds your settings and preferences, such as the topics you don't want to touch.
- commands.md: your personal guide, with only the tools you use.
- backup/: up to three backups of your record, made before each tidy-up.
At the end of a chat: Claude doesn't notice when you close it. Before closing, say goodbye or type update record, or the last part is lost.
