Anthropic just released a prompt guide for Claude, and the content is simply explosive. • Meta prompts • System roles • XML tags • Reusable templates Here’s the link to the guide and its content ↓

1. Prompt Generator Learn how to get Claude to write prompts for you. This is called "meta-prompting," and the results are amazing. 2. Use Prompt Templates Save time. Write once, use countless times. Template = scalable prompting capability.

3. Prompt Optimizer Claude can optimize the prompts you write. Turn "barely acceptable" into "magical results." It's like Grammarly for AI prompts. 4. Keep it Clear and Direct Vague prompts = vague results. Clear prompts = stunning effects. The first principle of prompting? Accurately express what you want.

5. Usage Example (Multi-turn Prompt) Demonstrate the thinking method to Claude. Multiple examples = more concise and smarter responses. Keyword: "Learning by Example." 6. Let Claude Think (Chain of Thought Method) Don't rush it to answer immediately. Let Claude think step by step. Chain of Thought = Higher-order reasoning.

7. Use XML tags Precisely control Claude's output. Structured, clear, and tidy results. 8. Give Claude a role (system prompt) "You are a lawyer." "You are a therapist." Assigning a role = instantly switching perspectives. It really works.

9. Pre-fill Claude's response Want a specific tone or structure? You write the beginning, and let Claude continue. Guide it to output the style you want precisely. 10. Chain complex prompts One prompt may not be enough. Break the task down into multiple steps. Use the output of each step as the input for the next step.

11. Long Context Prompting Techniques Claude can handle super long documents. But you must feed it correctly. This section teaches you how to operate effectively without overloading it. 12. Expanding Thinking Techniques Let Claude think more deeply. Ask better questions, follow up more intelligently. It's not just about what you ask, but how you iterate your follow-up questions.
