Chapter 2 · Anatomy of a great prompt
  1. Nova

    Hi! I'm Nova. Together we'll uncover the secret to answers from Claude that make you say “that's exactly what I wanted.”

  2. Write me a summary for Monday's meeting.

  3. Claude

    Happy to! Who will attend, and what should stand out most in the summary?

  4. Why does this reply work?

    • Claude asks for missing context
    • Claude writes something random
    • Claude refuses the request

    Correct! The clearer the context, the better the answer.
