Claude Code 是 Agent:给它 prompt 后,它自己读取文件、运行命令、编辑代码、调用工具。所以 Agent Prompt 的目的与普通聊天不同——你要描述目标、约束和验收标准,而不是一步步指挥它怎么读文件跑命令。
一个关键转变:把工作交给 Claude,而不是指挥它。像交给能干同事那样给上下文和方向,信任 Claude 处理细节。你不必规定它读哪些文件、跑哪些命令(见 Part 0 的原则)。
15.1 推荐 Prompt Architecture
根据任务复杂度决定用多少字段。简单任务用短 prompt;复杂任务才需要完整结构。
字段
作用
何时必要
Context(上下文)
背景信息:这个问题为什么存在、牵连哪里
复杂任务、跨模块
Goal(目标)
你想要的结果
总是
Scope(范围)
允许触碰的文件/模块;明确不在范围内
中-复杂
Constraints(约束)
技术栈、风格、限制
有特定约束时
Allowed Actions
Claude 可以做什么(如装依赖、跑测试)
需要授权时
Forbidden Actions
明确禁止做什么(如不要 push)
有红线时
Acceptance Criteria(验收标准)
任务完成的可验证标准
中-复杂
Verification(验证)
完成后怎么确认(如跑测试)
中-复杂
简单任务——短:
1
add a hello world function to the main file
复杂任务——用完整结构:

Context: The checkout flow is broken for users with expired cards. Goal: Fix the checkout flow so expired-card users get a clear error instead of a blank screen. Scope: The issue is in src/payments/. Only touch payment handling. Constraints: Keep the existing error logging pattern. TypeScript strict mode. Allowed: Run tests. Read related files. Forbidden: Do not touch the billing service. Do not change the DB schema. Acceptance: A user with an expired card sees a validation error and can update their card. Verification: Run the payment tests and confirm they pass, including an expired-card case.
give me an overview of this codebase: architecture, key directories, and how the pieces connect
1
explain what src/scheduler/queue.ts does and how data flows through it
1
where do we validate uploaded file types?
1
what would break if I deleted the retryWithBackoff helper?
1
look through the commit history of internal/auth/session.go and summarize how it evolved and why
1
which files would I need to touch to add role-based access control?
1
I am a new engineer. walk me through what happens when a user resets their password, from the UI down
Plan(计划)
1
plan how to refactor the auth module to use API keys. list the files you would change, but don't edit anything
1 2
I want to build a reporting dashboard. interview me about implementation, UX, edge cases, and tradeoffs until we agree on a plan, then present the plan
Implement(实现)
1
read issue #428, implement the fix, and run the tests
1
add a /api/export endpoint that returns a CSV
1
find every place we say "Transaction pending" or a close variant, show me each one, then update them
1
find the JIRA ticket about password reset and open a PR that implements it
Test(测试)
1
write tests for src/payments/checkout.ts, run them, and fix any failures
1
write tests for the login feature first, then implement it until they pass
1
read the coverage report and add tests for the lowest-covered files until each is above 90%
Debug(调试)
1
I'm seeing this error when I run npm test: [paste error]. Find and fix the root cause
1
the endpoint returns 500 intermittently. find the race condition and fix it
Refactor(重构)
1
migrate everything from moment.js to date-fns: identify every place that needs to change, then make the changes and run tests
1
port utils.js to TypeScript, keeping the same behavior and exports
Performance(性能)
1
optimize the query builder to bring query time from 2s down to under 500ms
Review(审查)
1
review my uncommitted changes and flag anything that looks risky before I commit
1
review PR #456 and summarize what changed, then list any concerns
1
use a subagent to review src/api/ for security issues and report what it finds
Security(安全)
1
review the auth flow for injection, secrets leakage, and missing authorization. report by severity
Git(Git)
1
resolve the merge conflicts in this branch and explain what you kept from each side
1
commit these changes with a message that summarizes what I did
Release(发布)
1
compare v1.2.0 to v1.3.0 and draft release notes grouped by feature, fix, and breaking change
Data / Automate(数据与自动化)
1
here is my Terraform plan output. what is this going to do, and is anything here going to cause problems?
1
write a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on every push to main
Steer(纠偏)
1
that is not right: the issue is in session handling. try a different approach
1
that is too much. keep only the changes to src/auth/ and undo your other edits
Incident(事故)
1
analyze these logs and find the root cause of the outage. give a timeline and the fix
