Anthropic just dropped a 27-minute hands-on workshop that walks you through real-world prompt techniques for Claude. The session is led by the engineers behind Claude, so every tip and example comes straight from the source. You won’t need to sign up or punch in a credit card; it’s completely free and sits outside any paywall. In the first few minutes they cover basic prompt structure—how to set context, define roles and manage output length. By minute eight they’re already diving into advanced tricks: few-shot examples, iterative refinement loops and error-handling prompts. They demonstrate how slight tweaks in wording shift Claude’s tone, focus and accuracy when crafting emails, generating code snippets or summarizing long documents. I’ve paid upwards of $300 for training that barely scratches surface before dropping filler slides. Anthropic’s workshop skips all that fluff. You get live demos in the Claude interface, side-by-side comparisons of “good” versus “great” prompts and clear guidance on scoring and tweaking outputs. Bookmark it now—you’ll want to revisit those prompt patterns whenever you fire up Claude next.
