Read the guideFor a political analyst, Claude is a drafting and synthesis partner — strong on the writing, unreliable on the facts, and the split matters more here than in almost any field. It's excellent at compressing a long bill or a dense committee report into a two-page brief, at turning your argument into a tight op-ed or a two-minute TV hit, at war-gaming the counterarguments to a position, and at reformatting one analysis for three different audiences. Where you cannot trust it: current events, poll numbers, vote counts, who holds which seat, and 'what happened last week.' Claude's knowledge has a cutoff and it will state outdated or invented political facts with complete confidence — a fabricated poll or a wrong roll-call vote in your commentary is a credibility hit you can't take. So the workflow is: bring the verified facts and the primary sources yourself, and let Claude structure the argument and sharpen the prose. Keep your own analytical judgment — and your read on motive and momentum — firmly in your hands.

I've pasted the full text of [bill / policy proposal]. Give me a neutral two-page brief: what it actually does, who's affected and how, the strongest argument for, the strongest argument against, and the open questions. Base it only on the text I gave you, quote specific provisions, and don't add outside claims about its politics or reception. Text: [paste].
What to expect back
A balanced policy brief grounded strictly in the source text — the read-down done fast, with both sides steel-manned.
Turn this analysis into an 800-word op-ed with a clear thesis, a strong opening, three supporting points, and a memorable close. Keep the argument mine, don't invent statistics or quotes, and mark any factual claim I should double-check with [VERIFY]. My argument and evidence: [paste].
What to expect back
A publication-ready op-ed in a persuasive register, with every factual claim flagged for your verification rather than fabricated.
Steel-man the opposing case to my position on [issue]: the 4 strongest counterarguments a sharp opponent would make, the evidence they'd cite, and where my argument is genuinely weakest. Then suggest how I'd honestly respond to each. My position: [paste].
What to expect back
A rigorous devil's-advocate pass that pressure-tests your take before an interview or a critic does it for you.
I'm going on [program] to discuss [topic] for a 2-minute segment. Give me 3 crisp talking points, a memorable line for each, and a one-sentence bridge back to my core message if I get a hostile question. Keep it tight and quotable. Context and my view: [paste verified facts].
What to expect back
A media-hit prep sheet — quotable points and bridges to rehearse — built on facts you supplied and verified.

No — this is its weakest area. Claude has a knowledge cutoff and no live data, and it will confidently state outdated or entirely invented poll numbers, roll-call votes, and seat counts. Pull every current fact from a primary source (official records, a named poll, the roll call) yourself. Use Claude only to frame and write about facts you've already verified.
Keep the argument yours and the facts sourced. Feed it your evidence and position rather than asking it to opine, instruct it to flag any factual claim for verification, and read the output critically for slanted framing or assumptions you didn't make. Claude is a drafting tool for your analysis — not a source of political judgment.
