Ask clearly.
Work better.

1. Table. Turn the material into a comparison table with meaningful criteria, caveats, and a recommendation when the evidence supports one.
2. Version two. Rewrite your previous answer with clearer structure and fewer words. Keep the facts and note anything uncertain.
3. Brainstorm. Generate ten distinct ideas, group them by mechanism, and select the three most testable.
4. Checklist. Convert this into a sequence of observable steps with an owner, done condition, and likely blocker.
5. Proofread. Correct grammar and clarity while keeping my voice. Show only edits that improve meaning.
6. Red team. Review this plan as a skeptical colleague. Find weak assumptions, consequences, and a low-cost test.
7. Forecast. Describe best, base, and worst plausible cases, the assumptions behind each, and signals to watch. Do not present guesses as probabilities.
8. Concise. Answer in a short paragraph followed by at most three actions. Cut filler but keep essential caveats.
9. Human voice. Rewrite with concrete detail, natural cadence and no stock AI phrases. Do not invent anecdotes or results.
10. Mirror. Infer a tentative writing-style profile from my sample. Quote evidence from the sample and ask before treating it as a standing preference.

These prompts are strongest when you ask Claude to preserve facts, identify uncertainty, and show the reasoning behind a recommendation.

When one pattern repeatedly helps, save it in project instructions or a skill. Put stable preferences in account instructions, project-specific context in a Project, and a repeatable procedure in a skill. Check the output on a small sample before using it broadly.

Avoid putting sensitive material into a prompt unless you are comfortable with the account and workspace controls that apply.
