If you're prompting #ClaudeCowork the same way you prompt #Claude Chat, you're doing it wrong.

Claude Chat uses task-first language. You guide every step: "Do this first. Now format it like that."

Cowork uses outcome-first language. You describe the end result and let it figure out the approach.

For example, with Claude Chat: "I have 15 raw thumbnail images. What naming convention would you recommend?"

You get a recommendation, then do the work yourself.

With Claude Cowork on the other hand: "Rename each photo based on what's in it and sort them into subfolders by type."

Two minutes later, the work is done.

Share this with someone just getting started with Cowork 😁
