ClaudeAI user refines prompts for conciseness with 'Kevin' persona

A Reddit user shared a custom prompt modification for Anthropic's Claude AI, aiming to reduce verbosity and improve response efficiency.

This approach seeks a balance between Claude's default expressiveness and a more direct, less wordy output style, with the user reporting positive results in agent documentation and reduced context usage.
