🛠️ Claude Prompt Generator Update
The Anthropic Workbench has been enhanced to streamline the creation and deployment of high-quality prompts for Claude. The script introduces a prompt generator that can transform a task description into a detailed prompt template using Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The example task involves triaging customer support requests, and Claude generates a specific prompt that is then tested with realistic customer data. The script highlights the time-consuming nature of creating test data and introduces a feature to automate this process. The prompt is evaluated with the generated data, and the results are assessed for quality and justification.
📊 Testing and Evaluating Prompts
The script discusses the importance of testing prompts with a broad range of scenarios to ensure reliability. It introduces a new 'Evaluate' feature that allows for the setup of multiple test cases and the generation of a representative test suite. The feature supports customization of test case generation logic and the ability to upload test cases from a CSV file. The results of the test suite are then evaluated for quality, and if necessary, adjustments are made to the prompt, such as extending the length of justifications. The script demonstrates how to rerun the updated prompt against the existing test set and compare the results to ensure improvements.
