Cowork · Beat 1 of 5 · Debrief

The four-part brief

One mental template that works on almost any prompt.

1Role

Who is Claude pretending to be? A development officer, a skeptical board member, an editor?

2Context

The facts specific to this situation. Names, amounts, history, stakes.

3Examples

Show, do not describe. Paste a past email. Match-this-style beats describe-this-style.

4Constraint

The guardrails. Word count, tone, what to avoid, what must be true.

Callback · this is the Brief knob from earlier. Every prompt has one — the question is only how carefully you shape it.
