Anthropic has created a robust set of tools for prompt engineers to improve your prompts, dial in your prompt settings, save prompts and version histories in a library, and run evaluation tests. These tools are all available in Anthropic’s development console.
In this tutorial, we will use many of Anthropic’s development console features to create and dial in an email-writing prompt. This will be a helpful tutorial for folks looking to explore using prompts and LLM-based APIs in their applications, or if you’re interested in writing, improving, and testing prompts within an AI chatbot experience.
Steps we’ll follow in this tutorial:
- Step 1: Auto-generate high-quality prompts from text instructions
- Step 2: Set variable values and a system prompt in the console
- Step 3: Update model settings
- Step 4: See version history and evaluate test cases
- Step 5: Copy the code
Step 1: Auto-generate high-quality prompts from text instructions
To start, we’re going to use Anthropic’s prompt generator tool to generate a few sample prompts for us. To get started, navigate to Anthropic’s developer console and click on the “Generate a prompt” button.
