Plans & troubleshooting
Find the right available feature and recover when a workflow breaks.
A control is missing, a limit appears, or the output is wrong.
Choose a guide by the result you want. Each one gives you a usable starting prompt, a concrete example and checks that expose weak output before you rely on it.
Is this a prompt or feature problem?
Quote the exact failed requirement and define a passing example. If a control is missing, check official availability for the account, device and region.
Decisions that matter
- Remove conflicting old context.
- Correct only the broken part.
- If a source cannot be read, a substitute is not success.
