&lt;p&gt;Domain 4 of the &lt;a href="https://anthropic-partners.skilljar.com/claude-certified-associate-foundations-certification" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;Claude Certified Associate – Foundations&lt;/a&gt; exam is &lt;strong&gt;Prompting and Task Execution&lt;/strong&gt;. It&amp;rsquo;s worth 14%. The framing that matters here: ask Claude to &amp;ldquo;write something about our Q3 results&amp;rdquo; and you get a generic paragraph. Specify the audience, the three results that matter, the format, and the length, and you get a draft you can almost send. The model didn&amp;rsquo;t get smarter between those two requests. The prompt did. This domain treats prompting as a communication discipline with learnable structure, not a knack some people have.&lt;/p&gt;</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://rochanewton.github.io/posts/claude-cert-06-prompting-and-task-execution/cover.png"/></item><item><title>The 4D Framework: Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence</title><link>https://rochanewton.github.io/posts/claude-cert-01-fluency-4d-framework/</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rochanewton.github.io/posts/claude-cert-01-fluency-4d-framework/</guid><description>&lt;h2 class="relative group"&gt;What this is about

&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anthropic&amp;rsquo;s AI Fluency course breaks working with AI into four competencies instead of a pile of prompt tricks: &lt;strong&gt;Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence&lt;/strong&gt;. The 4Ds. I went in expecting a prompting course and came out with a decision framework instead — one that&amp;rsquo;s less about writing better prompts and more about deciding what to hand off, how to communicate it, how to judge what comes back, and who&amp;rsquo;s accountable for it. Here&amp;rsquo;s each one, condensed to what actually matters.&lt;/p&gt;</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://rochanewton.github.io/posts/claude-cert-01-fluency-4d-framework/cover.png"/></item></channel></rss>
