Environment: Claude Code desktop app, Windows 11 Pro.

What exists today: Global per-user context lives in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md — a hidden text file most desktop users will never find. It works well once set up, but there is no trace of it in the app UI.

Requested: A visible profile/"biography" page in the app's settings: who I am, what I do, and how Claude should talk to me (answer length, list formatting, etc.). Global across all projects, customizable per user, editable in the UI. Under the hood it can simply read/write the user-level CLAUDE.md — the plumbing already exists; the ask is discoverability.

As a consultant, the difference between a session that knows my background and one that doesn't is enormous — and today that feature is invisible unless you already know the file path.
