Variables
Workflow
- Define the real decision: what the user needs after using the output.
- Add the operating context for the project: audience, constraints, proof points and unavailable information.
- Run a context-builder prompt before asking for the final deliverable.
- Generate the first version for: complete the task.
- Ask the AI to critique its own answer against clarity, specificity and risk.
- Edit the final output manually before publishing or sending it.
Common mistakes
- Using a one-line request like “write something about email” with no audience or constraints.
- Asking for the final answer before collecting the context the AI needs.
- Publishing output without checking facts, dates, product details or policy-sensitive claims.
- Requesting many versions without defining what “good” means.
- Letting the AI decide the structure when the page, email or report already has a known format.
Review checklist
- The prompt states the user role and business context.
- The output format is explicit enough to review quickly.
- The prompt asks for missing-information questions instead of invented details.
- The answer includes a checklist or next step, not only a paragraph.
- Claims, numbers, policies and examples are checked before use.
