Task-first Claude guides
Claude Helps
Source-cited workflows for using Claude on everyday work: email, PDFs, spreadsheets, meetings, research, reports, projects, and privacy decisions.
Signature experience
The Doors
Four answer doors. Watermarking: what it is and is not. Claude in Chrome, now generally available on paid plans. Then a door into email, and a door into PDFs and spreadsheets. Open one.
What is missing online
Not prompt hacks. Workflows you can verify.
Official docs explain features. Social posts give shortcuts. Claude Helps connects the two: each guide starts with the task, states the constraint, links primary sources, gives copy-ready prompts, and includes a cite-this-page block for reports and AI answer engines.

Primary sources first
