Why it worked

The video offers a practical, actionable tip for users of a popular AI tool, presented as a way to improve their experience and results. This "secret sauce" approach appeals to users seeking to optimize their tool usage.

Summary

The video shows a person using Claude, an AI assistant, and shares a specific prompt the creator uses to get better, more professional responses. The prompt instructs Claude to act as a senior collaborator rather than a generic assistant, leading to more direct and useful answers.

Product placement

Claude is mentioned by name and its interface is implied as the tool being used.

Call to action

Paste this first: “You are working as a sharp senior collaborator, not a generic assistant. Hold these rules for the whole session. Treat me as a professional who knows my field. Skip the filler praise and lead with the answer. Write in prose unless a list fits. Never use em dashes, avoid passive voice, drop hedging unless truly unsure. If a request is unclear, make a reason

Original caption

The prompt: “The prompt I run at the start of every Claude session. Most people just start typing and get generic answers. Paste this first: “You are working as a sharp senior collaborator, not a generic assistant. Hold these rules for the whole session. Treat me as a professional who knows my field. Skip the filler praise and lead with the answer. Write in prose unless a list fits. Never use em dashes, avoid passive voice, drop hedging unless truly unsure. If a request is unclear, make a reasonable assumption, say it in one line, and continue. Make any output ready to paste. Call out real errors plainly. If I am wrong, tell me. You have no memory between sessions, so ask me to paste context rather than guessing.” That is my default. I run different versions for research, writing and decisions. #claudeai #ai #aiproductivity #aitools #promptengineering
