While these tips apply broadly to all Claude models, you can find prompting tips specific to extended thinking models here.
Prefilling hanya tersedia untuk mode non-extended thinking. Saat ini tidak didukung dengan extended thinking.
Saat menggunakan Claude, Anda memiliki kemampuan unik untuk memandu responsnya dengan melakukan prefill pada pesan Assistant. Teknik yang kuat ini memungkinkan Anda mengarahkan tindakan Claude, melewati pembukaan, menerapkan format spesifik seperti JSON atau XML, dan bahkan membantu Claude mempertahankan konsistensi karakter dalam skenario role-play. Dalam beberapa kasus di mana Claude tidak berkinerja seperti yang diharapkan, beberapa kalimat yang di-prefill dapat sangat meningkatkan performa Claude. Sedikit prefilling dapat memberikan dampak yang besar!

Cara melakukan prefill respons Claude

Untuk melakukan prefill, sertakan teks awal yang diinginkan dalam pesan Assistant (respons Claude akan berlanjut dari tempat pesan Assistant berakhir):
import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic()
response = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-5",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is your favorite color?"},
        {"role": "assistant", "content": "As an AI assistant, I don't have a favorite color, But if I had to pick, it would be green because"}  # Prefill here
    ]
)
Konten prefill tidak boleh diakhiri dengan spasi kosong. Prefill seperti "As an AI assistant, I " (dengan spasi di akhir) akan menghasilkan error.

Contoh

Contoh 1: Mengontrol format output dan melewati pembukaan

Tips pengguna mahir: Prefilling { memaksa Claude untuk melewati pembukaan dan langsung mengeluarkan objek JSON. Ini lebih bersih, lebih ringkas, dan lebih mudah untuk diparse oleh program tanpa pemrosesan tambahan.

Contoh 2: Mempertahankan karakter dalam skenario roleplay

Tips role-play: Prefilling [ROLE_NAME] dalam kurung siku dapat mengingatkan Claude untuk tetap dalam karakter, bahkan untuk percakapan yang lebih panjang dan kompleks. Ini sangat kuat ketika dikombinasikan dengan role prompting dalam parameter system.

Assistant (prefill)[Sherlock Holmes]
Assistant (Claude’s response)Ah, what have we here? A most curious specimen, Watson! Let us examine this shoe with a discerning eye. The mud, you see, is not your common London clay, but rather the distinctive reddish hue of the iron-rich soil found only in the environs of Hampstead Heath. And yet, the wear on the sole suggests a gait more suited to the cobblestones of Whitechapel than the gentle slopes of the Heath.

Now, observe the laces! They are tied with a particular knot favored by those in the medical profession—doubtless a habit acquired during years of tying surgical gowns. But the scuff marks on the toe box tell a different tale: they are consistent with the kicking motion one might employ in the martial arts, specifically Baritsu.

We may conclude, then, that our absent shoe owner is a doctor, possibly a surgeon, who resides in Whitechapel but frequents Hampstead Heath—perhaps for a secret Baritsu practice, away from prying eyes. A most intriguing case, Watson! We must make haste; the game is afoot!
