Course As the saying goes, "Writing is rewriting." It has been proven that Claude can usually improve the accuracy of his responses when asked! There are many ways to prompt Claude to "think again." The same ways that allow one to naturally check one's work usually apply to Claude. (Questions about when and how...

Exercise In this exercise, we will write prompts for a programming assistance and teaching robot that can read code and provide guided corrections when appropriate. Fill in each of the yellow boxes below with prompt elements that match the descriptions and examples in the previous Complex Prompts example. When you fill in the...

Example Prompts in finance can be quite complex for reasons similar to legal prompts. Below is an exercise for a financial usage scenario where Claude is used to analyze tax information and answer questions. As with the legal services example, we have reordered some of the elements as i...

Course Input prompts in the legal industry can be quite complex due to the need to: Parse long documents Handle complex subject matter Format output in a very specific way Follow a multi-step analysis process Let's look at how to use a complex input prompt template to build an input prompt for a specific legal use case. Example Below...

COURSE Congratulations you've made it to the last chapter! Now it's time to put it all together and learn how to create unique and complex prompts. In the following, you'll use our recommended structure for leading complex prompts. In the second half of the chapter, we'll show some industry-specific prompts and explain what these mention...

Lesson Some bad news: Claude sometimes "hallucinates" and makes untrue or unreasonable statements. The good news is that there are techniques that can help you minimize the occurrence of hallucinations. In the following, we will discuss a few of these techniques, which include: Giving Claude the opportunity to answer questions he doesn't know the answers to...

Lesson Giving Claude examples of how you want it to behave (or not behave) is very effective for: Getting the right answer Getting the answer in the right format This type of hinting is also known as "sample less hinting". You may also encounter "zero samples", "n samples", or "same book"...

Lesson How would you fare if someone suddenly woke you up and immediately asked you several complex questions that you had to answer right away? Probably not as well as if you had time to think before answering. And guess what, the same goes for Claude. Giving Claude time to think gradually can sometimes make the difference in his answers...

Course Claude can format its output in many ways. All you need to do is ask it to do so! One way is to use XML tags to separate responses from other extraneous text. You've learned that you can use XML tags to make prompts clearer and easier for Claude to parse...

Lesson Often, instead of writing complete prompts, we want prompt templates that can be modified later based on additional input data and then submitted to Claude.This is useful if you want Claude to perform the same task each time, but the data Claude uses may be different each time...

Lesson Continuing on the theme of Claude having no context other than the information you provide, it is sometimes important to have Claude play a specific role (with all the necessary context), which is called a role cue. The more detailed the role context, the better. Having Claude preset a character...

Lesson **Claude responds best to clear and direct instructions. Think of Claude as any new employee who has just started a new job. ** Claude has no background information about what to do other than what you literally tell it. Just as when you first explain a task to a human, the more you...

Lesson This lesson needs to be executed in a code environment and is an exercise in constructing the correct message interface format, which can be skipped. The Claude for Sheets extension provides several functions that you can use to call Claude. one of these functions is CLAUDEMESSAGES(), which is constructed...
