The "Vibe" Prompt
Optimized Version
Engineering Rationale
The optimized prompt leverages chain-of-thought by breaking down the 'summarize' task into a series of explicit, sequential steps. This guides the model through the cognitive process required for an effective summary, minimizing ambiguity and encouraging a structured approach. It explicitly instructs the model on what to 'think' about (e.g., identifying core subject, extracting key info, synthesizing) and what characteristics the final output should possess (accuracy, conciseness, clarity, objectivity). The 'vibe_prompt' is too simplistic, offering no guidance on how to perform the summarization, often leading to less comprehensive or less focused outputs.
How We Validate This Prompt
Every optimized prompt for Summarize document on Claude 3.5 Sonnet is scored against a fixed set of evaluation assertions. A revision ships only when it passes all of them, so the 0% token reduction never comes at the cost of output quality.
- The optimized prompt explicitly defines 'summarize' through a step-by-step process.
- The optimized prompt specifies desired characteristics of the summary (e.g., accuracy, conciseness, objectivity).
- The optimized prompt uses structured formatting (numbered steps, bolding) to improve clarity for the AI.
