Troubleshooting & Optimization
Diagnose why output is underperforming, trace the root cause, and apply the necessary fixes.
When an output disappoints, most people do one of two things: give up and conclude "Claude can't do this," or start changing random things until something works. This module replaces both by teaching you how to identify common failure patterns and promote a one-time fix into a permanent one.
Learning objectives
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
- Diagnose why a prompt or output is underperforming and trace it to its root cause: under-specification, context overload, the wrong feature or model, or stale configuration
- Adjust your approach based on the output you get, turning recurring corrections into fixes that persist instead of repeating the same manual work
- Optimize a workflow for efficiency by promoting shared context, format, and verification steps into Projects, Skills, and standing instructions
