Use Claude's free tier — for prompt iteration, the chat surface is fine. The model quality matters here.
Prompt · Production prompt + eval set scaffoldI'm building a production LLM task. Help me draft the prompt and an eval set. Task description: """ {{describe the task: input, expected output format, what 'correct' means}} """ Output, in this order: 1. **System prompt** — the production prompt that will run on every input. Strict output format. No conversational hedging. 2. **30-row eval set** — table of {input, expected output, why}. Cover the easy cases, the edge cases, and 5 deliberately adversarial inputs. 3. **Eval rubric** — exactly how I'll score outputs against the expected outputs. Define partial credit if useful. 4. **Smoke test plan** — the 3 minimum-viable runs I should do before sending real volume to a cheaper model. The point of all this: I'm going to run the prompt on 100k inputs/month via DeepSeek's API. I want a prompt that survives the swap from Claude (where I'm authoring it) to DeepSeek (where it'll run). - 4Monthly sampling with Claude
Sample 1 to 2% of DeepSeek outputs and re-score with Claude. Catches drift and prompt rot before they become a customer-facing problem.
