Before and after prompts for Claude

Before
Compare these supplier contracts and tell me what really changed.
After
Compare the two pasted supplier contracts for their commercial differences. Cover pricing, minimum orders, delivery, liability, renewal, termination, and disputes. Present matching clauses together and label any missing or ambiguous term. Summarize operational impact without presenting the response as legal advice.
Why this is better: The text adds a comparison framework so Claude can surface material differences without overreaching.
Before
Did onboarding actually improve retention in this cohort table?
After
Analyze the pasted retention cohorts before and after the onboarding change. Compare retention at weeks 1, 4, and 8 using cohort sizes and absolute differences. Explain how the small sample affects confidence and avoid claiming causation. Conclude with the strongest signal and the next data needed to verify it.
Why this is better: The text adds checkpoints and uncertainty rules so Claude can interpret the small cohort responsibly.
Before
Would an outbox stop us losing emails when queue publishing fails?
After
Explain whether a transactional outbox fits the described email delivery failure. Trace the database write, relay, queue publish, deduplication, and cleanup steps. Cover relay crashes, duplicate delivery, and a crash after publish but before status update. Finish with tradeoffs and the minimum components required for reliable operation.
Why this is better: The text adds failure scenarios and system boundaries so Claude can explain the outbox accurately.
