Claude exercises
You have a realistic work artifact to produce: a reply, brief, action plan, decision note, or summary.
Use Claude to turn messy input into a usable first draft, then improve it with at least one follow-up instruction. Submit the original prompt, the improved output, and a short note about what changed.
Give Claude the role context, desired format, constraints, tone, and the messy source material. Follow up with a specific refinement request instead of starting over.
The final output is useful for a realistic work situation, and the submission shows iteration, judgment, and review.
