QuestionQ73

VerifiedPrompt and Context Engineering

Your Claude application's outputs have inconsistent formatting. The team’s instructions are spread across the system prompt and user messages, with some instructions given only once and others repeated.

How would you resolve the inconsistency?

Explanation

A consolidated system prompt provides consistent application-wide behavioral and formatting instructions for every interaction. Keeping user messages focused on individual inputs reduces duplication and the risk of conflicting instructions. Clear, explicit format requirements help Claude produce more consistent output.
