Structured Output Pattern

import anthropic
from pydantic import BaseModel

class ExtractedData(BaseModel):
    entities: list[str]
    sentiment: str
    key_claims: list[str]
    confidence: float

client = anthropic.Anthropic()

def extract_structured(text: str) -> ExtractedData:
    response = client.messages.create(
        model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
        max_tokens=1024,
        system="""Extract information from text. Return valid JSON matching this schema:
{
  "entities": ["list of named entities"],
  "sentiment": "positive|negative|neutral",
  "key_claims": ["list of main claims"],
  "confidence": 0.0-1.0
}
Return only the JSON object, no other text.""",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": text}]
    )
    return ExtractedData.model_validate_json(response.content[0].text)

Prompt Engineering Best Practices

System prompt anatomy:

1. Role and expertise        → sets the model's persona and knowledge frame
2. Task definition           → what to do, in what format
3. Constraints               → what NOT to do (equally important)
4. Output format             → exact structure expected
5. Examples (few-shot)       → 2-3 examples for complex tasks

Chain-of-thought for complex reasoning:

"Think step by step before giving your answer. Show your reasoning process,
then provide the final answer in this format:

Reasoning: [your step-by-step thinking]
Answer: [concise final answer]"

Common prompt failure modes:

Ambiguous instructions → model makes up details → add constraints
No output format → inconsistent structure → specify format with examples
Too many tasks in one prompt → poor performance → split into focused prompts
No examples for complex output → wrong interpretation → add 2-3 few-shot examples

RAG quality checklist:

Chunk size: 256–512 tokens for most text; respect document structure
Overlap: 10–20% overlap to avoid splitting context
Embedding model: match retrieval model to your domain
Top-K: retrieve 5–10 chunks; more context helps until the context window limits
Reranking: cross-encoder reranker improves precision significantly
Citation: always attribute which chunk each claim comes from

AI Agent Design

# Tool use pattern
tools = [
    {
        "name": "search_web",
        "description": "Search the internet for current information",
        "input_schema": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "query": {"type": "string", "description": "Search query"}
            },
            "required": ["query"]
        }
    }
]

# Agent loop
def run_agent(user_message: str, max_turns: int = 10):
    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": user_message}]

    for _ in range(max_turns):
        response = client.messages.create(
            model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
            tools=tools,
            messages=messages
        )

        if response.stop_reason == "end_turn":
            return response.content[0].text

        if response.stop_reason == "tool_use":
            tool_result = execute_tool(response)
            messages.extend([
                {"role": "assistant", "content": response.content},
                {"role": "user", "content": tool_result}
            ])

AI Evaluation

Automated evaluation metrics:

Factual accuracy: exact match, F1, BERTScore for open-ended
Retrieval: MRR, NDCG, recall@K for RAG systems
Generation: ROUGE, BLEU for summarization; custom rubrics for QA
LLM-as-judge: use a strong model to evaluate outputs at scale

Human evaluation (required for production):

Blind A/B comparison: evaluators don't know which response is from which model
Rubric-based: consistent criteria across evaluators (helpfulness, accuracy, safety)
Disagreement analysis: high disagreement signals ambiguous rubric or hard cases

Responsible AI

Before deploying any AI feature:

Failure mode analysis: what happens when the model is wrong?
Bias testing: evaluate across demographic groups and edge cases
Safety testing: adversarial inputs, jailbreak attempts, sensitive topics
Human oversight: what decisions require human review?
Transparency: do users know they're interacting with AI?
Data privacy: is user data sent to third-party AI APIs compliant with privacy policy?
