Intro to Claude — Book 2 · Your First Real Prompts

Most disappointing answers are disappointing for one reason: the question did not contain enough to answer well. This book takes that apart. Every strong prompt has four parts — the job named with a sharp verb, the context Claude cannot see, the format you want back, and the limits that protect what matters — and each gets a chapter. Then the three additions that turn a good prompt into an excellent one: giving Claude a role in one sentence, saying *why* a rule exists so it generalises to cases you did not mention, and showing one example instead of describing a shape. Finishes with a sixty-second rewrite drill you can run on any request before you send it. Five challenges with worked answers.
