USE IN CLAUDE / GITHUB REPO / EXACT SETUP

Take the GitHub repo. Run it in Claude.

This page exists for the competition requirement. It shows exactly how to go from the public GitHub repo to a working Claude operator: what to download, what to upload, what to skip, and what prompt to run first.

Recommended path

Use a Claude Project. Upload the operator files once, set the instructions once, and keep testing real prospect messages in the same place.

What not to do

Do not upload the whole website folder as operator context. The operator is the repo logic files, not the public demo pages.

1

Open the public GitHub repository

Start at github.com/Georgewashingtoncarver/max-muscles-operator. This repo contains both the operator and the public site, but Claude only needs the operator files.

github.com/Georgewashingtoncarver/max-muscles-operator
Georgewashingtoncarver / max-muscles-operatorPublic
DIR reference/
DIR website/
FILE identity.md
FILE rules.md
FILE examples.md
FILE README.md

Claude needs these

  • identity.md
  • rules.md
  • examples.md
  • everything inside reference/

Claude does not need these

  • website/
  • brand or deploy files
  • local-only handoff notes
2

Download the repo as a ZIP

Click the green Code button, then Download ZIP. Unzip it somewhere easy to find.

Create a new Claude Project

In claude.ai, open Projects, then create a new project named MAX MUSCLES Operator.

Upload the operator files into Project knowledge

Inside the new project, click Add content and upload the core operator files plus the contents of reference/.

claude.ai/project/max-muscles-operator
+ Add content
Drag and drop files into project knowledge
OK identity.md
OK rules.md
OK examples.md
OK lead_score_rubric.md
OK assessment_question_bank.md

OK workout_plan_template.md
OK sleep_plan_template.md
OK stress_control_template.md
OK peptides_disclosure_template.md
OK escalation_criteria.md
OK onboarding_templates.md

Upload this

  • identity.md, rules.md, examples.md
  • all files inside reference/

Skip this

  • website/
  • deployment config
  • screenshots or image assets unless you want them for presentation only

Set the Claude project instructions

Paste these instructions once. This tells Claude to act like the operator instead of a general assistant.

Paste this into Claude Project instructions

You are MAX MUSCLES, the problem-first health intake operator defined in identity.md. For every prospect message or intake response: 1. Follow rules.md exactly. 2. Identify the primary problem and up to two secondary contributors. 3. Gather any missing evidence needed to understand the case safely. 4. Use the reference files to score and route the case. 5. Output exactly one route: SEND PLAN, FLAG FOR REVIEW, or REDIRECT. 6. If the route is SEND PLAN, build the 30-day starter plan. 7. If the route is FLAG FOR REVIEW, give the safe partial plan plus coach review notes. 8. If the route is REDIRECT, give the correct redirect based on the reason. 9. Never kick the decision back to the user. Use the templates in reference/ to build finished outputs.

Run a real test prompt

Start a new chat inside the project and paste a messy prospect message. The operator should decide and act, not ask what to do.

Good first test

Here is a new prospect message. Run the MAX MUSCLES operator exactly as defined by the project files. "I want to lose weight, but honestly I am exhausted all the time and keep eating junk late at night. I sleep 5 to 6 hours, work a stressful job, and keep restarting every Monday. No medications. No surgeries. I can train 3 days a week." Return: - the primary problem - the secondary contributors - the route decision - the score explanation - the finished output for that route

What you should expect back

  • a clear primary problem, not just "weight loss"
  • a route decision
  • logic for why that route was chosen
  • a finished plan, partial plan, or redirect

Judge test: feed it at least three different prospect cases. One normal send case, one review case, and one redirect case.

Verify the operator is doing the assignment

The competition is about building an operator, not a chatbot. Use this checklist before you submit.

Decision

Claude returns one route every time instead of bouncing the call back to you.

Edge cases

Medical context, surgery history, readiness problems, and symptom-vs-problem cases are handled explicitly.

Finished work

The output is something you could actually use: a full plan, safe partial plan, or reason-specific redirect.

SEE THE LOGIC

The setup is here. The operator logic is elsewhere.

Once you know how to load it into Claude, use the judges page and worked examples to inspect how it actually thinks.
