Study notes

Problem

  • Different topics require different video script styles and tones
  • Programming topics need educational, detailed, informative scripts
  • Entertainment topics (like surfing) need different approaches—less formal, no lengthy definitions
  • A one-size-fits-all prompt won't produce appropriate results for diverse topics

Solution: Routing Workflow

Core Concept

  • Route user input through a categorization step before processing
  • Direct the input to specialized handling based on its category

Implementation Steps

  • Define Genre Categories
  • Identify all possible video genres users might request
  • Example categories: entertainment, educational, comedy, etc.
  • Create Genre-Specific Prompts
  • Write customized prompts for each genre
  • Educational prompt: requests clear, engaging scripts with examples and thought-provoking questions
  • Entertainment prompt: requests trendy, engaging content appropriate for that style
  • Routing Step
  • Use Claude to categorize the user's input/topic into one of the defined genres
  • Claude determines which category the topic belongs to
  • Conditional Processing
  • Based on Claude's categorization, forward the user input to the appropriate specialized pipeline
  • Each pipeline uses its corresponding genre-specific prompt
  • Only one processing path executes per request

Benefits

  • Tailored output that matches the nature of the topic
  • Specialized workflows and tools for each task type
  • Consistent tone and style within each genre category

Takeaways

  • Route user input through a categorization step to identify the topic's genre before processing
  • Create specialized prompts for each genre (educational, entertainment, comedy, etc. ) that define appropriate tone, style, and content approach
  • Use Claude to automatically categorize the user's request, then forward it to the matching genre-specific pipeline for tailored output
  • This ensures consistent, appropriate tone and style rather than applying one generic prompt to all topics
