I asked Claude to write me a client proposal. Got a wall of text. Spent 40 minutes formatting it in Word. Then I found out I'd been doing it completely wrong.

You can just ask it to build the actual document.

Formatted. Structured. Ready to open and send.

This is the prompt:

Write a complete professionally formatted client 
proposal I can paste directly into Word and send.

Here is my raw content:
[paste your rough notes here — don't clean them up]

Structure:
1. Executive Summary
2. The Problem
3. Proposed Solution
4. Scope of Work & Deliverables
5. Timeline
6. Investment
7. Next Steps

Formatting rules:
- H1 for title, H2 for each section
- Bullet points for deliverables and timelines
- Bold key terms and numbers
- Paragraphs max 2-3 sentences
- Professional but human — not stiff

Output the full document completely formatted 
and ready to paste into Word.

Paste your messiest notes in. Don't edit them first.

What comes out looks like you spent two hours on it.

Got four more document prompts like this — proposals, decks, SOPs, client reports, payment terms. All in one place here if you want to check it out
