  - Description concerns communicating a goal to AI with enough precision to produce useful behavior and an appropriate output. Option B strengthens the information that operationally defines success: the task's scope, intended audience, required format, and relevant constraints. These elements reduce the number of assumptions Claude must make. Option A removes useful context and is likely to make the response more generic. Option C substitutes broad language for a defined specification, increasing ambiguity. Option D confuses prompt length with prompt quality. Additional words improve performance only when they convey relevant instructions, examples, source material, constraints, or decision criteria. A strong revision might define the role Claude should perform, the source material it may use, exclusions, tone, length, required sections, and the purpose of the deliverable. The revised prompt should then be tested against clear criteria rather than assumed to be correct after one run. Anthropic defines Description as effectively describing goals to prompt useful AI behavior and output. Its prompting guidance recommends clear, detailed instructions, relevant context, representative examples, and explicit output requirements. Therefore, B is the only revision that directly addresses the diagnosed specification gaps. Anthropic's AI Fluency framework
