D1
A marketing manager types "Write a product announcement" and gets a bland, generic draft. Which change to the prompt would MOST improve the next draft?
- State the audience, key features, length, tone and the action readers should take.
- Ask Claude to try much harder and make this version far more creative and compelling.
- Cut the request to a single keyword so Claude has more freedom to pick an angle.
- Rerun the same prompt several times and keep whichever version sounds most persuasive.
D1
An operations lead's prompt says "NEVER use more than three bullet points," but long summaries keep breaking the rule. Which revision does Anthropic's prompting guidance suggest is most likely to help?
- Repeat the rule in capital letters at both the very start and the very end of the prompt.
- Drop the rule and trim the bullet lists by hand after each summary is produced.
- Explain the reason: the summary appears on a dashboard tile that fits three bullets.
- Warn Claude that any response with extra bullets will be rejected and redone.
