QuestionQ20

Prompting and Task Execution

A business analyst is transforming a stakeholder’s sticky-note request into a structured prompt for Claude. What is the correct sequence of conversion steps?

  1. Confirm the audience and the decision that the response needs to support.
  2. Submit the structured prompt to Claude.
  3. Identify the underlying task concealed in the sticky-note language.
  4. Specify the required length, tone, and output format.
  5. Add the supporting facts and constraints that are relevant to the task.
Explanation

A useful structured prompt progresses from the underlying task and intended audience or decision to the relevant context and constraints, followed by explicit output requirements such as length, tone, and format. The complete prompt is submitted only after those elements are defined. Anthropic guidance likewise recommends clear instructions, relevant context, and explicit expected output.
