How to use it
- Read it, then replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details — the more concrete the context, the sharper the answer.
- Copy it (or download the .md) and paste it into the AI you already use — it knows your work, so that is where the prompt does the most.
- Want a sharper answer? Ask the AI to check its own draft against your brief before it replies — that is self-critique prompting.
