Most people think Claude gives generic answers.
It doesn't. Most people just give it generic prompts.
Instead of saying... "Write a Facebook post for me."
Use this 5-step formula instead.
1. Context
Tell Claude who you are and what you're working on.
Example:
"I am a digital marketer for an EdTech platform. We are launching a new graphic design course for beginners."
2. Task
Be specific about what you want.
Example:
"Write a 300-word Facebook post to promote this new course."
3. Constraints
Tell Claude what to avoid.
This is one of the biggest differences between average and great results.
Example:
"Don't use robotic words like unlock, delve, or tapestry. Keep the sentences short and simple."
4. Persona & Tone
Tell Claude who it should sound like.
Example:
"Write like a friendly, experienced mentor who speaks directly to the reader."
5. Output Format
Explain how you want the answer formatted.
Example:
"Use bullet points for the main benefits and bold the important phrases."
The quality of your output depends on the quality of your instructions.
This simple framework can improve almost every prompt you write.
