Nick Perry breaks down the PIMP framework for better Claude prompts: assign a specific role (Purpose), give step-by-step tasks (Instructions), show an example of what you want (Model), and set constraints on format and tone (Parameters). These four elements cut through generic AI output and get you actual useful answers.
If you want Claude to actually work, then you need to pimp it. P stands for purpose. Tell Claude who you want it to be, like a senior copywriter or a wholesale closer. Without this, you just get generic answers. I stands for instructions. Tell Claude what to actually do step by step. M stands for model. Show Claude an example of what good looks like.

Tell Claude what not to do, the format to avoid, and the tone to stay away from. So if you keep getting AI slop, then keep in mind that
