The Anatomy of a Claude 4.6 Prompt:
|
|
|
|
1\. Task
|
|
|
|
Define what you want & what success looks like:
|
|
|
|
"I want to \[TASK\] so that \[SUCCESS CRITERIA\]."
|
|
|
|
No roles, "act as a senior expert." That era is over.
|
|
|
|
2\. Context Files
|
|
|
|
Upload context files with your expertise and rules:
|
|
|
|
"First, read these files completely before responding: \[filename .md\] - \[what it contains\]."
|
|
|
|
AI went from reading a sticky note to an entire book.
|
|
|
|
Stop explaining yourself in the prompt. Put it in files.
|
|
|
|
3\. Reference
|
|
|
|
Show AI exactly what you want. Upload an example.
|
|
|
|
Then give patterns, tone & structure as rules. No "give me something like" & hoping AI figures it out.
|
|
|
|
4\. Brief
|
|
|
|
This is the only part you actually type from scratch. Everything else is files. "Type of output + length.
|
|
|
|
Does NOT sound like. Success means."
|
|
|
|
5\. Rules
|
|
|
|
Context file holds your standards, taste & audience.
|
|
|
|
Prompt: "Read it fully before starting. If you're about to break one of my rules, stop and tell me."
|
|
|
|
6\. Conversation
|
|
|
|
You spent 3 years prompting AI. Now it prompts you
|
|
|
|
Prompt: "DO NOT start executing yet. Ask me clarifying questions (use 'AskUserQuestion' tool) so we can refine the approach together step by step."
|
|
|
|
7\. Plan
|
|
|
|
Claude read your files before writing a single word.
|
|
|
|
Prompt: "Before you write anything, list the 3 rules from my context file that matter most for this task. Then give me your execution plan."
|
|
|
|
8\. Alignment
|
|
|
|
Nothing happens until you both see the same aim. This replaces the old prompting era.
|
|
|
|
Prompt: "Only begin work once we've aligned."
