Prompting habits to practice
Be Specific
Clear, detailed prompts get better results. Instead of "Write about cats," try "Write a 300-word informative article about the history of domestic cats, including their origins in ancient Egypt and evolution as companion animals."
Define Format
Specify how you want the response structured. Use phrases like "in bullet points," "as a JSON object," "in 3 paragraphs," or "as a step-by-step guide."
Provide Context
Give background information and examples. Context helps AI understand exactly what you need and reduces ambiguity.
Avoid Ambiguity
Describe the result you want: who it is for, what it should include, and how it should be structured. Add exclusions only when they help.
Use Examples
Provide examples of the type of response you want. This is called "few-shot prompting" and helps AI understand your expectations.
Checkable answers
Ask for checkable calculations, assumptions, or evidence when they help you evaluate an answer. An explanation is not proof that a response is correct.
