Command #1

Think Step by Step

Add this to the end of any prompt — and Claude starts reasoning out loud. Answers become 2x more precise, especially in code and analytics. Instead of guessing, the model breaks the problem into logical steps.

>Analyze why our conversion dropped 20% last week. Think step by step.

When to use: any complex analysis, debugging, architecture decisions, data review.

Command #2

Act as a Harsh Critic

Stops agreeing with everything and starts actually pushing on weak spots. The best way to stress-test an idea before you spend money on it. Claude becomes your honest advisor, not a yes-man.

>Here's my SaaS landing page copy. Act as a harsh critic — tear apart every weak point, vague promise, and missing element.

When to use: validating business ideas, reviewing copy, checking strategy before launch.

Command #3

Give Me 10 Alternatives

Not one option — ten. For headlines, offers, prompts, strategies. You pick the best out of ten instead of settling for the first one that comes to mind. Quantity breeds quality.

>Give me 10 alternatives for the headline of my email campaign about a Black Friday sale for an AI course.

When to use: headlines, email subjects, CTAs, naming, offer angles, content ideas.

Command #4

Explain Like I'm 10

Any complex document, algorithm, architecture — explained so a child would understand. You stop Googling. Claude strips away jargon and gives you the essence in plain language.

>Explain how HTTPS encryption works. Explain like I'm 10.

When to use: learning new tech, onboarding, explaining to non-technical stakeholders.

Command #5

What Am I Missing

Give any plan or idea — Claude tells you what you overlooked. Caught a hole in our product right before launch. This is your safety net for blind spots you can't see yourself.

>Here's my launch plan for a new mobile app. What am I missing?

When to use: before any launch, strategy review, risk assessment, planning.

Bonus

Combine Them for Maximum Power

The real magic happens when you stack these commands. Chain "Think step by step" with "What am I missing" — and Claude becomes a senior consultant that reasons clearly AND catches blind spots.

>Review my API architecture for a payments system. Think step by step. Then act as a harsh critic and tell me what am I missing.

Stack commands to unlock Claude's full potential. One prompt can combine reasoning + criticism + gap analysis.

The Result

These 5 commands alone will change how you use Claude. You'll get sharper answers, better ideas, and catch mistakes before they cost you. But this is just the beginning — our courses take you from prompts to production.
