QuestionQ42

Prompt and Context Engineering

You are launching a new Claude application and have a small set of well-labeled examples that show the required output format. You want to use these examples to steer Claude’s behavior. How would you guide the application’s behavior?

Explanation

Multi-shot prompting includes labeled examples in the prompt, allowing Claude to recognize and reproduce the intended output format for each request. Anthropic identifies well-crafted few-shot or multi-shot examples as a reliable way to steer output format and improve consistency.
