How we write

Articles on this blog are written with the help of Claude, then checked against Anthropic's documentation and the live product before they are published. Here is the process — and what it does not cover.

1. One question per article

   Each guide starts from a question people actually search for, such as “how do I check my Claude usage?”, and answers it in the first lines. The rest adds the details, the exceptions and the steps.

2. Drafted with Claude, from a fact sheet

   Drafts are written with Claude from a fact sheet we keep up to date: plan names, limits, interface labels in English, French and German, and links to Anthropic's pages. A draft may only state a number, a label or a date that is on that sheet or in a source it links to.

3. Checked, then dated

   Before an article goes out, we check its figures, commands and labels against Anthropic's help center and the product itself — claude.ai, the desktop app and Claude Code. The date of that check shows at the top of the article as “Verified”. When a rule changes, the article is checked again and the date moves.

4. Sources first, sample data marked

   Articles link to Anthropic's own pages first. Charts marked as examples use sample values, and screenshots of UsageMeter use demo data, never a real account.
