Claude prompting guide

General tips for effective prompting

1. Be clear and specific

• Clearly state your task or question at the beginning of your message.
• Provide context and details to help Claude understand your needs.
• Break complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps.

Bad prompt:

import SwiftUI
import Combine

public struct ChangeObserver<V: Equatable>: ViewModifier {
    public init(newValue: V, action: @escaping (V) -> Void) {
        self.newValue = newValue
        self.newAction = action
    }

    private typealias Action = (V) -> Void

If you work on a Swift project that follows the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architecture or similar, you may want to jump to counterpart in Xcode from your view to your model, and then to your view model. (ie. by using Ctrl+Cmd+Up and Ctrl+Cmd+Down).

You can do this in recent versions of Xcode by setting a configuration default.

From a terminal, just type this command and press Enter:

defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEAdditionalCounterpartSuffixes -array-add "ViewModel" "View"
