Prompts & answers
Ask for an outcome, inspect the response, and improve the next turn.
You know the task but your answers feel generic.
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.
What makes an answer worth keeping?
Write a four-part brief: desired result, context, boundaries and format. Add a sample when voice or structure matters. Ask for missing facts to be flagged rather than invented.
Decisions that matter
- A role label does not replace source material.
- Revise against an observable failure.
- For complex work, agree on criteria before the draft.
