QuestionQ32

Prompt and Context Engineering

Your Claude application’s prompt was authored months ago and has not been updated. The team has learned through evaluations that the prompt performs well for common cases but performs poorly for a particular category of inputs whose volume has increased. How should you respond?

Explanation

Prompt engineering should be an iterative process: update the prompt to improve performance for the growing failure category, validate the update with evaluations that also protect common-case performance, and continue refining based on the results.
