Prompt Engineering for Each Model
Practical prompting advice for the current Magicdoor model lineup.
Different models respond better to slightly different prompting styles. You do not need a completely different prompt for every model, but it helps to match the prompt to the model's role in your workflow.
Claude Sonnet 5.5
Best for writing, analysis, and code.
- give it context
- ask for structured outputs when the task is complex
- use it when nuance matters
GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Luna
Compare Luna and Sol on your own task. Luna has lower standard token rates.
- use direct, specific instructions
- include examples when output format matters
- verify results for simpler tasks before using them
Claude Haiku 5.5
Good for structured tasks, long documents, and faster lower-cost work.
- ask for tables, JSON, or structured summaries when useful
- check sources and document contents before relying on analysis
- compare output against a representative prompt
Claude Opus 5.5
Use when the task is important enough to justify a premium model.
- provide rich context
- ask for detailed reasoning or careful review
- save it for higher-value tasks
Current search-enabled chat models
Use when the task depends on live information from the web.
- ask factual questions
- request sources when you need them
- verify original sources for broader investigations
GLM-5.3
Use when you want a lower-cost reasoning-oriented model.
- present the problem clearly
- ask for step-by-step reasoning
- keep it focused on analytical tasks
Grok 4.7
Use as another general-purpose option when you want to compare outputs across providers.
- use direct prompts
- compare its answer against Claude or GPT when the task matters
General advice
- give the model the minimum useful context, not every detail you know
- ask for the output format you want
- switch models when the task changes instead of trying to make one model do everything
- use lower-cost models for drafts and premium models for final review
