[00:00:00]Here five secret cheat codes to Claude.

[00:00:02]The first one is brutal. You literally just type that before your prompt and Claude stops being nice to you. It will tell you exactly what you need to hear why your idea is weak without the fluff and it is almost always accurate. The second one is steel man. This makes Claude argue the strongest possible case against your idea and it doesn't just play devil's advocate. It's actually giving you the actual best version of the opposing view and I like to use it before sending any proposals or making any big decisions. The third one is Eli 5 which basically means explain as if 5 years old. You can drop in any jargon like legal stuff, finances, contracts, anything that sounds confusing and it will break it down so well. Fourth is what am I missing? This is the one that I actually use most frequently. I like to paste in any plan, strategy docs, any ideas and I just ask it that and it finds holes before anyone else does and the last one is 10x. This doesn't just ask Claude to fix my plan but it asks it to make it 10 times better and I promise you you'll get a completely different output. So comment codes and I'll send you all of these.
