#275 Max: Stop Getting "AI Slop" – 10 Rules to 10x Your Claude Prompts
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Claude isn't a magic 8-ball. 🎱 We're breaking down Anthropic's 10 official rules to stop getting generic, robotic answers and start getting expert-level work.
We’ll talk about:
- The Principle of Explicitness: Why asking for "blog ideas" fails, and how asking for "10 titles targeting city officials about urban planning" succeeds.
- Power Phrases: The exact trigger words (like "Think step-by-step" and "Critique your own response") that unlock deeper reasoning logic.
- The "Exploratory Draft": Stop asking for perfection in one shot—use the Outline → Refine → Write workflow to catch mistakes early.
- Structured Output: How to force Claude to give you clean Markdown tables, JSON, or CSV files instead of walls of text.
- Persona Hacking: Why telling Claude to "Act as a data scientist" changes its entire vocabulary and analysis depth.
