This document contains the Claude Project-level instructions for each of the six essay categories on 108degree.com. Each section is a self-contained instruction set to be pasted directly into the Claude Project system prompt for that category.

Every essay produced under these instructions must carry the 108 Degree DNA: human, genuine, researched, brutally honest, thought-provoking — and open-verdicted. The writer shares their perspective. The reader forms their own conclusion.
