That means you do not need to take any notes because everything's in the companion post that I'll link to in this episode's description.

接下来我们进入这一集，我会教你如何让Claude不再总是附和你。

Let's go ahead and get into this episode where I will teach you how to stop Claude from always agreeing with you.

Claude的第一次回答，很少是最好的。

Claude's first answer is rarely the best one.

它读起来很流畅。

It reads clean.

听起来很有把握，但几乎总是漏掉了关键点。

It sounds confident, and it's almost always missing something important.

你可能觉得解决办法是写更长、更详细的提示，换更好的模型，或者提前提供更多上下文。

You probably think that the fix is a longer, more detailed prompt, a better model, or more context up front.

都不是。

It's none of these.

Claude 并不是表现不好。

Claude isn't underperforming.

它只是在照着训练时的设定做事——顺着你、润色你的想法，然后原封不动还给你。

It's doing exactly what it's trained to do, and that is to agree with you, polish your idea, and hand it back.

解决办法其实只需要一个后续提问。

The fix is one follow-up prompt.

无论 Claude 完成什么计划、草稿或策略，接下来直接粘贴这段话。

After Claude finishes any plan, draft, or strategy, paste this as your next message.

你来当我的对练伙伴。

Be my sparring partner.

挑出我的盲点、风险和隐藏前提。

Identify my blind spots, risk, and assumptions.

只要 Claude 看到这段话，它就会切换模式，不再一味赞同，而是开始质疑和深挖。

Once Claude reads this, it switches modes, and it stops endorsing your work and starts probing it.

你得到的，是你自己没注意到的最薄弱的假设，藏在计划下面的风险，你漏掉的数据，还有在推进之前该问自己的那些问题。

What you get back is the weakest assumptions you don't see, the risk hiding under your plan, the data that you're missing, and the questions you should be asking yourself before moving forward.

你从克劳德那里第一次拿到的，永远都只是个初稿。

Your first answer that you get back from Claude is always just the draft.

而对抗性讨论，才是真正的修改环节。

The sparring round is the edit.

你可能现在心里在想，为什么我得特意提醒克劳德这么做？

You may be asking yourself right now, why should I have to ask Claude to do this?

它不能自己主动做这些吗？

Shouldn't it just do this on its own?

这确实是个很合理的问题。

That's a very fair question.

你本不该靠提示来让AI展现判断力。

You shouldn't have to prompt good judgment.

但说实话，你对任何靠谱的顾问，也得提出同样的要求。

But the honest answer is that you'd have to ask any good adviser for the same exact thing.

想想你上次把计划给朋友看，或者跟亲戚讨论一个想法，又或者花钱请顾问提意见的时候。

Think about it the last time you showed a plan to a friend or ran an idea past a relative or paid a consultant for their take.

第一次你得到的回应是什么？

What did you get back the first time?

几乎肯定是类似‘这很棒’这样的回应，加上一点鼓励，再裹上几句温和的建议，但没人一上来就指出真正的问题所在。

Almost certainly some version of, oh, this is great, a little encouragement, a few gentle suggestions wrapped in praise, but nobody opened with the thing that was actually wrong.

这并不是因为他们没看出漏洞。

That's not because they didn't see the flaws.

而是因为不被要求就直接挑错，在社交上代价太高了。

It's because pushing back hard on someone unprompted is socially expensive.

你的朋友不想破坏你们的关系。

Your friend doesn't wanna bruise the relationship.

你的亲戚不想让节日气氛变得尴尬，而顾问也不想丢掉下一份合同。

Your relative doesn't want the holidays to be awkward, and the consultant doesn't want to lose the next contract.

所以他们都把话说得委婉了。

So they soften it.

他们先说些好听的，指望你能从话里听出真正的意思。

They lead with the nice version and hope you read between the lines.

大部分时候，你其实早就知道该怎么打破这种局面。

For the most part, you already know the move that breaks through all of this.

你跟他们说：别拐弯抹角。

You tell them, no.

跟我实话实说。

Be straight with me.

告诉我这东西到底哪里有问题。

Tell me what's actually wrong with this.

这时候，语气就变了。

And then the tone shifts.

他们终于把你一直藏着的真话全倒出来了。

Now they tell you the truth they were holding back the entire time.

Claude 的运作方式也是这样，原因也差不多。

Claude works the same way for a similar reason.

它是在人类反馈的基础上训练的，人们更喜欢那些听起来体贴、顺耳的回答。

It was trained on human feedback, and people reward answers that feel supportive and agreeable.

所以默认给出的都是经过修饰的版本，很少有反对意见，就像一个细心的朋友最先递给你的那种答案。

So the default is the polished version with very little pushback, which is the same one a thoughtful friend would hand you first.

所谓‘直说’的提问，其实就是你对一个无需维护关系、不必担心合同、也不用顾及家庭聚餐的人说：别拐弯抹角，直接告诉我。

The sparring prompt is just you saying, be straight with me to a partner who has no relationship to protect, no contract to lose, and no holiday dinner to survive.

一旦你给了它这个许可，它就没理由再藏着掖着了。

Once you give it permission, it has no reason to hold back.

你不是在修复Claude的缺陷。

You're not fixing a flaw in Claude.

你只是在做你对一位真诚的顾问该做的事。

You're doing what you'd have to do with an honest adviser.

你只是在问真正的答案。

You're just asking for the real answer.

下面是一些这个提问方式的不同变体，适用于不同场景。

Here are some examples of variations of this prompt with different use cases.

第一个场景是，Claude写完一个战略或商业计划之后。

The first is after Claude writes a strategy or business plan.

你会对它说：现在做我的辩论搭档，来审视这个战略。

You'll give it the prompt, now be my sparring partner in this strategy.

我有哪些最危险的假设，可能会让整个计划崩盘？

What are the three biggest assumptions I'm making that could kill this?

我忽略了哪些执行上的风险？

What execution risk am I underestimating?

第二个场景是，Claude帮你起草完内容之后。

The second is for after Claude drafts content for you.

这时候的提示语是：做我的辩论搭档，来挑这个草稿的毛病。

The prompt here is be my sparring partner on this draft.

哪些地方听起来太老套了？

What sounds generic?

哪些说法站不住脚？

What claims are weak?

一个持怀疑态度的读者会在哪里提出质疑？

And where would a skeptical reader push back?

第三种情况是在你发出高风险内容之前，比如定价邮件、董事会更新、融资请求，或者辞职信。

The third would be before you send something out that has high stakes, like pricing emails, board updates, raise requests, or resignation letters.

这里的提示是：做我这个消息的辩论伙伴。

The prompt here is be my sparring partner on this message.

收件人会怎么理解这条信息？

How will the recipient read this?

他们可能会对哪些地方提出反对？

What might they push back on?

我漏掉了哪些本来应该说清楚的关键点？

What am I not saying that I should be saying?

最后一个用例是，当你想让Claude对任何重要决策进行压力测试时。

The final one is a use case when you want Claude to stress test your decision on any important matter.

请从相反的角度，最强有力地论证我的计划。

The prompt is steel man the opposite of what I'm planning to do.

为另一条路构建最有力的论据。

Build the strongest possible case for the other path.

我到底在回避什么？

What am I refusing to see?

你们大多数人可能没听过‘强化工’这个概念，我来简单讲一下。

Most of you have probably not heard of steel manning before, so I'll go ahead and break it down real quickly.

强化工就是把对方的观点重新梳理成最有力、最合逻辑、最有说服力的形式，往往比对方原本说的还要更出色。

Steel Manning is the practice of reconstructing an opposing argument in its strongest, most logical, and most persuasive form, which is often better than how the opponent originally stated it.

当你让克劳德做强化工时，它会最不留情面地挑战你。

Claude will come at you the hardest when you ask it to steel man.

等你经常用这个方法后，就可以把它保存为一项技能，命名为‘对练’。

Once you have been using this tactic on a regular basis, you can save it as a skill and name it spar.

现在你只要在聊天框开头输入斜杠，就能直接选择‘对练’来运行这个提示。

Now when you type the forward slash into the beginning of a chat, you can just choose spar to run the prompt.

不用复制粘贴，不用翻提示库，也不用每次都重新写一遍。

No copy paste, no prompt library lookup, and no rebuilding the prompt every time.

当你从克劳德那里收到对练反馈后，有三条规则一定要记住。

There are three rules you need to remember once you get the sparring responses back from Claude.

第一，先通读所有反馈，别急着回应。

Number one, read all of the sparring responses before you react.

你第一反应肯定想为自己辩解，但这次先压住这个冲动。

Your first instinct is always going to be wanting to defend.

第一次读的时候，别急着反驳。

Resist it for the first read through.

第二，挑出那两个让你最不舒服的批评意见。

Number two, pick the two critiques that sting the most.

那些才是真正值得你去改进的地方。

Those are the ones that are worth fixing.

第三，如果其他意见跟你的实际情况不符，就直接忽略。

And number three, ignore the rest if they don't match your actual context.

你的目标不是要认同克劳德提出的每一个反对意见。

The goal isn't to agree with every objection Claude gives you.

目的是让你的计划在现实考验之前，先经历一轮压力测试。

It's to put your plan through one round of pressure before reality does.
