Trick

Ask explicitly for "above and beyond", don't imply it

prompt engineering · works with Claude (Opus 5 / Sonnet 5) · via Anthropic (Claude docs)

The prompt

Less effective:
"Create an analytics dashboard"

More effective:
"Create an analytics dashboard. Include as many relevant features and interactions as possible. Go beyond the basics to create a fully-featured implementation."

Expected result

A noticeably more complete, feature-rich build than the bare instruction produces.

Why it works

Claude's own current docs frame this as the highest-leverage habit: treat the model like a new hire with zero context on your norms, and explicitly state the ambition level you want rather than hoping it gets inferred from a short prompt.
