Most people obsess over wording. Advanced Claude users design context. The prompt is not only the instruction; it is the instruction plus context, constraints, examples and desired outcome.
Context-first structure
<context>
Paste the relevant background here.
</context>
<objective>
State the outcome you want.
</objective>
<constraints>
List limits, audience, tone, exclusions and verification needs.
</constraints>
<output>
Name the exact structure you want back.
</output>
Tip: A better prompt is often not longer. It is more selective about what Claude actually needs.
