** Claude Code Prompting Strategies
** People are sharing prompt engineering techniques, particularly using few-shot examples with reasoning and leveraging clean architecture principles, to optimize Claude Code's performance.
Prompt Cowboy has you covered yeee haaww Copy prompt below --- Based on your creators tips for using Claude Code. What are the highest impact changes we can make to our Claude Code setup today? Focus on low effort/high impact.
@unclebobmartin I am a big advocate and practitioner of clean architecture. Now I am putting my learnings and experiences into custom prompts to make claude code cleanly. This repository was coded in a day and it is far from vibe code slop all thanks to the custom harness
4. Few-Shot Examples WITH Reasoning Everyone does few-shot wrong. Don't just show input → output. Show input → reasoning → output. Example: INPUT: [task] REASONING: [why this approach] OUTPUT: [result] This is how Claude Code was trained. Your prompts should work the same
