Hey, I'm going to walk you through Claude projects.
It's something I've been using a lot recently.
If you go into projects and you click Create Project, you have to do this first.
You can't take an existing prompt and save it as a project yet.
But this is you think of it as a type of thing that you're going to be doing regularly.
So if you're finding you're using the same prompts over and over again, then it's a good idea for using
a project.
Here I'm just going to say like prompt engineering, tactical ideas.
I want a project that kind of I can keep asking for new ideas for prompt engineering given a prompt
one ideas on how to how to improve the prompt using the latest scientific techniques techniques from
the Prompt report, which is a big systematic review of lots of different prompt engineering techniques.
I'm going to add that content here and you can just put text in obviously, if you want to, but I'm
just going to upload this here.
And this is what this stuff on the right is what goes into every single chat that you have.
But you can also just add content directly to that chat as well.
That's the differentiation here.
On the right hand side is stuff that you always want to push into the prompt.
And you can see that this is quite a big PDF.
So it takes up 43% of the knowledge base.
But then you can still add extra stuff in here if you need to.
Now I'm going to set the custom instructions and I'm going to say given a prompt template I want you
to suggest potential tactics you could use with with citations to the prompt report.
And as you can see, I want to suggest potential tactics.
You could use to optimize the prompt prompt with citations to the prompt report and the specific change
need to make to the template, as well as some evidence that the technique works based on findings I
described in the prompt report.
Cool.
All right.
So that's just a basic one.
We're going to we can iterate that on that if we want.
I'm just going to say tell a funny joke about topic.
And I'm just going to say optimize this prompt template.
Okay.
Now let's see how it does.
And as a reminder, it is using because it's in part of this project, is using the system message,
and it is using the specific paper that we uploaded the prompt report.
So you can see here that it's actually got the full context.
So add a role to the prompt role prompting a new template.
And then it's given some evidence with a specific quote from the prompt report.
So really cool.
Add style instructions.
Add chain of thought message.
Cool.
Few shot prompting.
Yeah.
So it's got a few different ideas.
This is pretty cool because now we have an evidence based strategy.
We can come up with new ideas, we can iterate on the prompt, and if it gives us results that we don't
really want, then we can go back and and change that as we need.
We could go back to the specific system prompt, you could say, only give me three ideas.
And now if we say optimize this prompt template.
Tell me a funny joke about topic.
And then hopefully it just give us three ideas.
Now.
We're all prompting style instructions and few shot prompting.
Yeah.
Good suggestions.
Cool.
All right.
So that's how I use projects.
And you can use it for lots of different things like I have you can have a project with a bunch of your
writing samples.
So you could write in your writing style.
That's quite helpful.
You can have a project with all the different titles of your blog posts, and you can use that to generate
new title ideas.
Really use it for any situation where you're going to be using the same prompt and the same context
again and again.
