Make the success criteria visible before you ask for the answer
State the goal, role, constraints, output format, and examples explicitly so the model has less room to guess what “good” means.

Small changes that make answers more useful
Treat prompting like an iteration loop, not a one-shot request
Choose representative tasks, define what success looks like, compare outputs, then improve the instruction from the failures you can name.

Separate instructions, context, and examples so they do not compete
Use clear sections for instructions, background, examples, and the requested output when a task contains long material or multiple constraints.
ClaudeExplore method
Start simple, then add examples only where the result needs them
Move from a direct instruction to examples, system guidance, or smaller steps only when the task needs more control.
