Prompting: Tips for Success
Anthropic offers the following tips and ideas for better prompts, better results and a better experience.
Context Is Key
Who—Tell Claude about yourself if it’s relevant (“I’m a sophomore furniture design major working on a chair”).
What—Be specific about your task (“I need to facilitate a conversation about sustainable fashion”).
Why—Share your goals (“This needs to appeal to Gen Z customers”).
How—Mention any preferences (“Keep it under 500 words and include statistics”).
Getting Started
The easiest way to get started is to ask Claude a question or give Claude a task. Here are a few simple ideas:
Email management—Claude can help draft emails for different situations, from follow-ups to sensitive communications.
“Help me write a diplomatic email declining a project opportunity.”
Research assistance—Need to gather information quickly? Claude can synthesize information on industry trends, competitors, or technical concepts.
“Summarize the latest trends in remote work technology.”
Content creation—Whether it’s blog posts, social media content or presentations, Claude can help generate ideas or draft content.
“Help me outline a presentation on our quarterly results.”
Problem-solving—Stuck on a challenging problem? Explain it to Claude to help you think through different approaches. Claude might ask questions that lead to breakthrough insights.
“Help me see the different angles of this problem and potential solutions.”
From Good to Great
As you get comfortable with Claude, here are four easy techniques that can transform your experience from good to great.
Ask Claude to think out loud—When you need help with something complex, try: “Think through this step-by-step” or “Break this down into smaller steps.”
Be specific when results are too vague—If Claude’s response isn’t quite what you need, add more detail: “That’s helpful, but I need ideas specifically for a family vacation with teenagers, not young children.”
Refine through conversation—Treat Claude as your creative partner and shape the output together: “I like where this email draft is going, could you make it more casual and half as long?”
Specify your audience and tone—“Explain investing to a teenager” will get very different results than just “Explain investing.”
The more you talk to Claude like a thoughtful collaborator, the better your results will be!
Beyond Campus
While Claude excels at academic and workplace tasks, it can be just as valuable for your personal life, tackling everyday challenges and projects like personal learning, decision-making and household planning.
Life assistant—Let Claude tackle recurring household planning tasks that eat up your time.
“I’m tired of meal-prepping the same 5 meals. Can you suggest some unconventional ideas that are easy to prepare but packed with protein?”
Personal learning coach—Claude can help you acquire new skills or knowledge more efficiently.
“I want to learn basic Spanish for my upcoming trip. Create a two-week study plan with daily 15-minute lessons.”
Decision-making support—Facing complex personal choices? Claude can organize information and help you think through options.
“Help me compare Portugal and Switzerland for an upcoming vacation based on culture, cost, and travel logistics.”
Creative project partner—Whether planning celebrations or pursuing hobbies, Claude can spark ideas and help with execution.
“I need creative ideas for my parents’ 40th anniversary celebration that won’t break the bank.”
Simplify complex topics—Need help understanding complex topics? Claude can break down technical, academic, or professional concepts into simple terms.
“Break down my car insurance policy so I understand what each section means.”
