CLAUDE / PRACTICAL GUIDE

Long context needs clear structure.

Place the task, source material, constraints, and output in distinct sections. Ask for claim-level evidence, label inferences, and compress long projects into durable decisions.

Tool-use checklist

  1. Use precise tools and strict parameters.
  2. Treat webpages and files as untrusted.
  3. Approve consequential actions explicitly.
  4. Make retries idempotent.
  5. Test prompt injection and ambiguity.
