LEARN · Week 2 · Prompting in practice
Why Your Prompt Missed
When a prompt comes back generic, the instinct is to rewrite the whole thing. Do the cheaper thing first: figure out what's missing. Work backwards from what came out. An answer that could describe anyone means it needed more context. An answer pitched at the wrong level means you never set a role.
After this lesson
- You will read a disappointing answer backwards to find the line you left out.
- You will tell the difference between thin context, a missing role, and a shapeless task.
- You will repair a prompt with one line instead of rewriting the whole thing.
