Adjust your approach based on feedback and results
Turn feedback into concrete instructions and examples, then measure whether it worked.
What the exam tests
Choosing the adjustment that will actually change output after users or reviewers complain.
Key ideas
- Adjectives rarely work
- “Be polite” or “use simple language” changes little. Provide example outputs and name phrases to avoid.
- Balance constraints
- Fixing length can remove required content. Define the must-include items alongside the limit.
- Describe the reader
- “An admin who isn't an engineer” gives Claude a target; “simpler” doesn't.
- Measure after the change
- Check reply rates, rework or quality scores to confirm the adjustment helped.
Common traps
- Repeating the same instruction in capitals.
- Overcorrecting one problem and creating another.
Remember
Feedback → examples + specific rules → measure again.
