Practical Steps to Avoid Redundant Content with Claude!
Today, Ajiu will discuss how to use Claude to write articles while avoiding overly redundant content, making your writing clear, concise, and professional.
Ajiu has summarized a 3+2 model for keeping drafts concise when using Claude, which consists of 3 golden steps and 2 pitfalls to avoid.
This model is the valuable experience distilled from helping hundreds of self-media creators optimize their articles.
In the future, if you want to write concise and powerful articles, just use this 3+2 model, which is both practical and efficient.
Speaking of this, Ajiu can’t help but recall the experience of guiding a blogger in writing an article a couple of days ago.
He originally used Claude to write an article of nearly 3000 words, but it was boring to read.
After using Ajiu’s method, the article was condensed to 1500 words and became more popular.
What are the three golden steps?
First: Use the title reverse engineering method to determine the core focus.
Second: Set up a keyword trigger mechanism.
Third: Conduct scenario-based diversion.
Why use the title reverse engineering method?
Because the title often contains the most core value proposition of the article.
We need to break down the title into several keywords and let Claude write around these words to avoid deviating from the topic.
Ajiu often sees many people allowing Claude to operate freely right from the start, resulting in content that is all over the place.
In fact, Claude is like a knowledgeable professor; if you don’t give it a clear direction, it will impart all relevant knowledge.
The best way is to first extract the keywords from the title and then let Claude write around these words.
For example, if your title is ‘How Newbies Can Master Short Video Production’, you can extract the three words: newbie, short video production.
For this reason, Ajiu has also prepared a keyword extraction and optimization manual for core members, detailing 28 different types of title keyword extraction methods.
Regarding the keyword trigger mechanism, this is a new method Ajiu has recently researched.
The specific approach is: when letting Claude write, set 3-5 keywords as trigger words.
Whenever Claude is about to deviate from the topic, we throw these keywords to refocus it.
This is like playing chess with Claude; you need to control the rhythm at all times.
When it wants to digress, immediately use keywords to pull it back on track.
So what is scenario-based diversion?
Ajiu found that Claude tends to write redundant content most easily in the case analysis section.
Many people simply ask Claude to give examples, and it will wildly list various cases.
At this point, we need to use scenario-based diversion to limit the examples to specific scenarios.
For instance, if you are writing e-commerce copy, clearly tell Claude: Please take an example of a clothing store’s Double Eleven event copy, rather than vaguely saying to give a marketing copy example.
Now let’s talk about the two pitfalls to avoid: First: When inputting instructions, avoid using words like ‘detailed’ and ‘comprehensive’.
Ajiu noticed that every time these words are used, Claude interprets it as needing to elaborate on everything, resulting in lengthy content.
Instead of saying ‘please provide a detailed introduction’, say ‘please focus on the key points’.
Second: Set an output word limit.
This method seems simple but is particularly effective.
When you limit Claude to no more than 100 words per paragraph, it will automatically filter out the most important information.
Ajiu recently used this method while guiding a novice blogger.
Originally, his food review articles often reached 3000 words, but now each paragraph is kept under 100 words, and the entire article has been cut in half, resulting in a better reading experience.
This technique is especially suitable for writing review articles, as they are prone to content piling.
By limiting the word count, Claude will focus on the core features of the product.
Recently, Ajiu developed an impressive trigger technique for writing that ensures Claude always captures the key points of the article without being verbose.
This is not just a writing technique, but a complete system for improving article quality.
Ajiu has also organized this method into a detailed operational manual, provided to annual core members.
Every time you execute these steps, remember one principle: let Claude act like an excellent speaker, not a librarian.
An excellent speaker knows what to say and what not to say, while a librarian would list all relevant information in detail.
