Improving Prompts

Overview

Apply documented Claude 4.5 best practices to existing prompts. Do not invent "improvements" - use the actual guidance from Anthropic.

When to Use

• Optimizing CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md files
• Improving custom command prompts
• Refining skill instructions
• Migrating prompts from older Claude models to 4.5

When NOT to Use

• Writing new prompts from scratch (just follow best practices directly)
• The prompt is working well and user hasn't identified issues
