Practice
Prompts that include context, constraints, and examples
A good prompt is a brief. Length is not the same as clarity.
Context
Who is this for, what happened already, and which facts are fixed? Two or three sentences often beat a vague paragraph.
Constraints
Length, format, tone, languages, and what to avoid (for example “do not invent statistics”). If a format matters, say “use a numbered list” or paste a skeleton.
Examples
One short example of the voice or structure you want is more useful than a long style lecture. If you have a before-and-after snippet, include it.
Iteration
If the first reply is wrong, name the error (“the third paragraph assumed a budget we do not have”) instead of restarting from zero with a totally new prompt.
Prompt tricks are not a substitute for checking facts. They only improve the draft you still have to edit.
