What's inside
12 chapters. 8 playbooks. No filler.
This is the file I wish I had when I started using Claude in real production work.
01
Mental models
How Claude actually "thinks" — and the three metaphors that will get you in trouble.
02
Prompt primitives
The 7 building blocks. Everything else is composition.
03
Context budgeting
Where your tokens actually go and how to cut them in half.
04
Structured output
JSON, XML tags, and when schemas hurt you more than they help.
05
Tool use
Designing tools the model will actually call correctly.
06
Agents that ship
Loop design, budget caps, and how to keep agents from drifting.
07
Eval patterns
The four evals every production prompt needs.
08
Failure taxonomy
A catalog of the 14 failure modes I keep seeing in the wild.
09
Long documents
Chunking, retrieval, and when to just fit the thing in context.
10
Multi-turn workflows
State, memory, and handoffs without the hallucination tax.
11
Red-teaming your prompt
The adversarial review that catches 60% of production bugs.
12
When to use a smaller model
