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
