What you'll learn
- Meta-prompting loop: Interview → draft → critique → your edit → test.
- Get a good interview: Let it ask questions and attack its own draft.
- Meta-prompt mistakes: The model can structure the prompt; you supply the facts and the judgement.
- Meta moves: Use the model as an editor of your prompt.
- Over-engineered prompt: Generated prompts often add flattery and buzzwords — cut them.
- Test the generated prompt: Test generated prompts on varied inputs, especially hard ones.
