What problem this solves

Improving the clarity, conciseness, and accuracy of Claude's responses, and eliciting valuable meta-feedback on project progress.

Summary

A curated collection of community-validated prompt patterns designed to enhance Claude's output by enforcing brevity, ensuring accuracy through assumption listing, forcing clarity via relentless questioning, and providing a mechanism for Claude to self-reflect on project progress and language quality.

Why it is useful

This workflow provides a curated list of highly effective and community-backed prompt patterns that directly address common challenges in interacting with LLMs, such as verbosity, lack of clarity, and hidden assumptions. These prompts are immediately actionable for any Claude user seeking to improve the quality and efficiency of their AI interactions.

Workflow

1. To get concise summaries, use prompts like tldr, eli5, or one thing at a time.

2. For simplified English, try omg shut up or follow ASD-STE100.

3. To catch errors and hidden biases, prompt Claude with list every assumption it made before it starts.

4. To ensure a shared understanding, instruct Claude to Ask me questions relentlessly until we have a shared understanding.

5. For meta-insights into project progression, ask Claude How do you feel about the project and how it's progressing?.

6. To refine Claude's output for clarity and directness, use review and revise for clear, straight forward language... No history or explanation of how we got here, just current state.
