Step 1 — Project
Step 2 — Design strategies

Use with Claude
All three prompts work best in Claude. The passive design strategy prompt produces particularly detailed, climate-specific output when given a precise location and orientation. The client explainer can be adjusted for technical or non-technical audiences by adding a note at the end of the prompt.
