Use this practice sheet to get better answers from Claude. It shows the four parts of a good prompt: what you want done, the background, the material to work on and how the answer should look. Then it covers eight everyday problems, such as vague answers, the wrong style, answers you cannot check, and getting a tidy format that tools can read. Each one has a prompt to copy and paste, an example and a quick check. There is also a checklist to run before you press send.
