Part 2: Prompts, context windows and Claude skills

Module 10 · Sun 20 Sep

System prompt woh hidden layer hai jo behaviour set karti hai; user prompt turant ki request hai. Real apps dono ko layer karte hain. Context window batata hai ki model kitna actively use kar sakta hai - lambi chats mein jagah khatam ho jaati hai, isliye compaction (purane context ka summary) jagah khaali karta hai. Chat infinite memory nahi hai.

• Prompting zyada words ke baare mein nahi hai. Specific raho, filler hatao, lambe prompts mein delimiters/tags use karo, aur yaad rakho ki lambe prompts ka beech wala hissa "lost" ho jaata hai (attention dilution).
• Temperature randomness control karta hai - yeh prompt ki wording se alag hai.
• Claude skills reusable Markdown instruction files hain, jo aapki request ko skill description se match karke chuni jaati hain. Sabse achhi tab jab har skill ek hi kaam kare.

Class build - ek PRD system prompt: role, guardrails, tone, audience, problem, pain points, user stories, design, functional aur non-functional requirements, user flow, success metrics - saath mein woh sections jinka PM sach mein owner hona chahiye. Voice input ke saath bhi delimiters help karte hain: model se bole gaye text ko sections mein restructure karne ko kaho.
