Prompt craft

Three habits that usually improve results with conversational assistants:

• Name the job. Say what “done” looks like before asking for words.
• Give constraints. Audience, length, tone, and what to avoid.
• Iterate narrowly. Ask for a rewrite of one section, not the whole piece again.

Example opener: “You are helping me draft a one-page brief for non-technical managers. Keep claims conservative. Flag anything that needs a source.”
