Prompting Mindset 101
Most bad answers are decided before you type: you never said what the output is for, who reads it, or what good looks like. Every vague word is a decision you handed to the model.
- Spot it
- Build it
- Match it
- Order it
- Spot it
- Build it
How it works: tap, pick, link or reorder — then see exactly why. Perfect rounds build a streak for bonus points. 75% passes.
What you'll learn
- The launch post: Every vague word is a decision you gave away. Make the decisions before you type.
- The late cake: Goal, success criteria, private facts: three lines that decide the answer before it's written.
- Same article, three asks: The same text gives three different answers. The reader and the decision choose which.
- Pre-flight: Purpose first: it tells you which reader, which facts and which format matter.
- Cut the filler: Keep the words that change the answer. Everything else just makes the real instructions harder to find.
- The vague request: Narrow the scope and fix the shape. Vague asks get broad, shallow answers.
