Claude Multishot Reasoning With example Tags

Multishot prompting works effectively with extended thinking: when you provide 3 to 5 diverse examples inside <examples><example>...</example></examples> tags showing how to think through edge cases, Claude follows similar reasoning patterns within its own thinking blocks.

<examples> <example> <input>App crashes when exporting CSV over 50MB, please add chunked exports.</input> <reasoning>The user reports a crash (symptom of a bug), but the core request is adding a new capability (chunked exports) for large files.</reasoning> <label>Feature Request</label> </example> </examples> Classify <ticket>{{USER_TICKET}}</ticket> using the exact same <reasoning> and <label> tags.
