daniel_mac8 · x · 2026-08-10
A user shared a prompting tip that can significantly improve Claude's output quality: instruct Claude to write using ASD-STE100 (Simplified Technical English).
Additionally, you can ask the model to follow Zinsser's four principles of quality writing:
- Simplicity
- Brevity
- Clarity
- Humanity
By applying these constraints, you can effectively reduce the verbosity common in LLMs, making their output much more concise and readable.
