I am not much of a prompt engineer, I think. My “prompts” generally consist of many pages of conversation where I babble about some topic I am interested in, occasionally hitting enter to get Claude’s responses, and then skim/ignore Claude’s responses because they are bad, and then keep babbling. Sometimes I make an explicit request to Claude such as “Please try and organize these ideas into a coherent outline” or “Please try and turn this into math” but the responses are still mostly boring and bad.
I am trying ;p
But yes, it would be good for me to try and make a more concrete “Claude cannot do X” to get feedback on.
Oh I have 0% success with any long conversations with an LLM about anything. I usually stick to one question and rephrase and reroll a number of times. I am no pro but I do get good utility out of LLMs for nebulous technical questions
