Learn how prompting works

Six ideas that make every prompt better. Read them now, or come back whenever — they're yours.

The tool

A thinking partner, not a search box

Describe what you want in plain words and it works with you — drafting, explaining, revising. Stop searching, start describing.

Context is the fuel

Vague in, vague out

It only knows what you give it — your words, files, photos, and the chat so far. The more relevant detail you add, the better the result.

Give it a role

Tell it who to be

"Act as a patient teacher," "be my product coach." A role sets the tone, the depth, and the kind of answer you get back.

Show, don't just tell

Paste an example of "good"

One example of the style, format, or outcome you want is worth a paragraph of description. It learns the target from what you show it.

Ask it to ask you

"Ask me 3 questions first"

Let it gather what it's missing before it answers. You'll get something tailored instead of generic — and you stay in the driver's seat.

How it thinks

It predicts meaning — it doesn't look facts up

That's why it can sound sure and still be wrong. Give it good context, then verify anything that really matters.

Prompts to steal

Copy one, paste it into Claude or ChatGPT, and swap in your own idea. Start here, then make them yours.

Prompt → spec → screen

The clearest prompts describe three things at once: what it looks like, what you ask for, and the data behind it. Steal a pattern, then swap in your idea.

Quick starters

Shorter asks you can copy as-is.
