The 3 asks that replaced "think step by step", and how to read what comes back for the parts you can actually check.
One finished sample settles the format that two rounds of adjectives could not.
Role, context, task, format and constraints - what each one actually buys you, and which two you are probably leaving out.
The 5 uses that come round every week, a rhythm under an hour, and the rule that keeps it running in a bad week.
Write the four-part standing instruction once, scope the rest to one project, and stop re-explaining yourself at the top of every chat.
Capture your voice once from three things you already wrote, then check any draft in twenty seconds before it goes out with your name on it.
The account you are signed in to decides most of it, and four words tell you what never goes in the box.
Why a confident answer can be false, the 4 shapes the invention takes, and a 30-second check tied to what a mistake would cost.
Paste it or attach it, what each format really gives you, and how to tell what your assistant did not read.
The Think button trades time for care, not intelligence. Four questions that tell you it is worth the wait, and what each assistant calls it.
Three parts turn a vague ask into one an assistant can follow, and four old prompting tricks you can stop typing.
The first reply is a draft, not a verdict. Four lines that fix most of what comes back, and the point where a new chat beats another correction.
One question sorts every task on your list, plus the four kinds of work that pay off in your first week and the four to keep.
Open the account, find the three parts of the screen that matter, and have one real conversation in about ten minutes.
