@claude.with.christelle: That’s how you end up with confident garbage. Claude is trained to be helpful. Helpful often means agreeable. So when you ask “is this a good idea?” you get a polished version of yes. The Steel Man Switch flips that. Here’s the prompt 👇 “Before you answer, switch into Steel Man mode. Step 1: Take the strongest possible version of the OPPOSITE position to what I’m about to ask. Argue it like you actually believe it. No straw men. No weak counters. Step 2: List the 3 biggest holes in my current thinking that I’m probably not seeing. Step 3: Now answer my original question, but only after you’ve made the opposing case as strong as it can be. My question: [drop your question here]” What this does: → Forces Claude to argue against you first → Surfaces the blind spots you were paying it to confirm → Kills the yes-man pattern in one prompt I ran this on a business decision I was 90% set on. Claude tore it apart in 4 bullet points. I didn’t make the move. Saved myself months. Try it on: • A pitch you’re about to send • A career move you’re convinced about • A product idea you’re in love with • An email you’re writing while emotional If your answer survives the Steel Man, it’s actually good. If it doesn’t, you just saved yourself. Save this and Follow @claude.with.christelle for the prompts Claude wasn’t supposed to teach you. #ClaudeAI #AIPrompts #anthropic #claude #prompt
