I had a great time chatting with three of Anthropic's top prompt engineers: Amanda Askell, Zack Witten, and David Hershey. We covered a few topics like: - what makes a good prompt engineer - practical tips for writing better prompts - what's happening inside an LLM - jailbreaks - the future of prompt engineering - and more If you want to understand how we think about prompt engineering, this may be the best resource out there. Here's the entire one hour and sixteen minutes of our conversation. Enjoy!

Here's a quick demo using the Claude desktop app, where we've configured MCP: Watch Claude connect directly to GitHub, create a new repo, and make a PR through a simple MCP integration. Once MCP was set up in Claude desktop, building this integration took less than an hour.

Claude Code is now included in the Claude Pro plan which means Pro plan subscribers can use their rate limits for Claude apps and Claude Code! To celebrate, here's a conversation with Claude Code's founding engineer, Boris Cherny, on: - how we use Claude Code at Anthropic - underrated tips for using it effectively - the future of coding tools - and more!

One of the most exciting things about artifacts is that it's not just making existing coding jobs easier/faster, it's creating software that would never be written otherwise. Many people are now creating their first apps, with Claude's help. Niche apps that only a few people need. Internal tools for small companies. Or silly apps just for fun. Here's an example: wanted to visualize a dual monitor setup for a desk and compare how the monitors fit next to each other. Claude made a perfectly usable app for this in just a few turns! It's not mind-blowing or anything, but that's the entire point. It may not be worth coding it up yourself - but if you can have Claude make it in <5 minutes, it's quite useful.

One of my favorite Anthropic API features that people don't seem to know about is prompt prefilling. Your API request doesn't have to end with a 'user' turn. You can include an 'assistant' turn at the end of the messages array and "put words in Claude's mouth" so to speak. Claude will then start its response as if it already output the text you prefilled. This technique allows you to direct Claude’s actions, skip preambles, enforce specific formats like JSON or XML, and even help Claude maintain character consistency in role-play scenarios. I use it all the time as it makes prompts much simpler, especially for things like structured outputs.

The State of Claude Artifacts - August 2024 With Artifacts generally available across Claude dot ai and our mobile apps, I figured now is a good time to record a walkthrough of everything that you can do with Artifacts today. Artifacts has so much potential as a new UX paradigm - we're just scratching the surface of what it will eventually become. I have a feeling that when we look back at this video in the not-too-distant future, we'll be amazed at how quickly Artifacts evolved.
