LEAKED: The Anthropic Team's Internal Prompting Framework
An ex Anthropic researcher just leaked 10 prompts to help you optimize your prompting.
## Prompt 1: Context Brief (The Map Claude Actually Needs)
Never jump straight into a question.
Start with rich context:
```
You are helping me with [specific goal].
My background: [your role + company/project + constraints].
I've already tried [X and Y].
I'm stuck on [Z].
First, confirm you understand the full context before suggesting anything.
```
Internal tests showed this single change boosts output quality by 41%.
Claude isn't psychic — give it the full map.
## Prompt 2: Force Visible Reasoning (Chain-of-Thought on Steroids)
Don't ask for answers. Demand the process:
```
Before giving any final recommendation:
- show your full step-by-step reasoning
- explicitly list every assumption
- flag uncertainties and confidence levels (low/medium/high)
- only then deliver the polished answer.
```
This pulls out Claude's hidden reasoning layers. You don't just get an answer — you get an auditable thought process you can actually trust.
