The first draft is rarely the final one — learn how to push Claude for something better.
The First Draft Isn't the Final OneEasy
Treating Claude's first answer as a draft, not a finished product, changes how useful it becomes.
Just Ask AgainEasy
Telling Claude what's wrong with a draft, in plain language, is often all it takes to fix it.
Give Specific Feedback, Not Just 'Better'Easy
Vague feedback like 'make it better' gets vague changes — naming exactly what's off gets a sharper fix.
Ask for a Few OptionsMedium
Asking for two or three versions side by side often surfaces a better option than picking one and refining it.
Combine the Best PartsMedium
You don't have to pick one draft whole — you can tell Claude to merge the best pieces of several.
Make It Sound Like YouHard
Pasting a sample of your own writing is the fastest way to get a draft in your actual voice.
