Claude Pro Tips: 12 Features Most Subscribers Miss in 2025

Claude Pro Tips: 12 Features Most Subscribers Miss in 2025

1. The 200K Context Window

Most Claude Pro subscribers never use the full context window. Upload entire long documents — contracts, research papers, codebases — and ask questions about them. “Summarize the key risks in this 80-page contract” takes seconds and would take you hours manually.

2. Project Knowledge

Projects in Claude let you attach persistent files and instructions. Instead of re-uploading your company’s brand guidelines or style guide every conversation, add them to a Project once. Every conversation in that Project has access to those files automatically.

3. Multi-Turn Refinement

Do not accept the first output. The most effective Claude Pro users refine iteratively: “Make the tone more direct,” “Add a specific example for point 3,” “Shorten the introduction to 2 sentences.” Each refinement builds on the last, producing increasingly polished output.

4. System Prompts via Projects

Set a system prompt in your Project instructions: “You are helping me write in the style of [describe your voice]. Always use concrete examples over abstractions. Keep sentences under 20 words where possible.” Every conversation starts with these instructions pre-loaded.

5. Artifacts for Reusable Content

Claude creates Artifacts — standalone, shareable documents — for code, documents, and other structured content. Use artifacts when you want to iterate on a specific piece of content without it getting buried in conversation flow.

6-12: More Hidden Value

• 6. Upload images for analysis — charts, screenshots, receipts, handwritten notes
• 7. Multiple conversation threads — separate conversations for different projects prevent context confusion
• 8. Copy as Markdown — one-click formatting for pasting into Notion, Obsidian, GitHub
• 9. Ask Claude to critique its own output — “What is the weakest part of this draft?” produces remarkably useful self-critique
• 10. Use Claude for code debugging — paste error messages and stack traces, get explanations and fixes
• 11. Compare documents — upload two versions and ask Claude to highlight differences and improvements
• 12. Generate structured data — ask for output in JSON, CSV, or table format for direct use in other tools
