Claude Prompting Best Practices

Anthropic's official prompting guidance — clear instructions, examples, XML structure, and the meta-prompt approach.

Prompt Librariesofficialpromptsdocsanthropic

Anthropic's official prompting best-practices page: how to be clear and contextual, use examples (multishot), let Claude think (chain of thought), structure with XML tags, chain prompts, and prefill responses — with the prompt generator/meta-prompt workflow for rewriting rough instructions into well-structured prompts. The successor to the former standalone prompt library page, and the right first stop before reaching for community prompt lists since it is maintained against current Claude models.
