Why Prompts Matter
A well-crafted prompt is the key to getting accurate and helpful results. Great prompts lead to clear and relevant responses.
Here’s how I approach crafting them.

1. Start with a Goal
   Begin by defining what you want to achieve. A clear goal sets the direction for the prompt.
   Example: “I need a summary of this article.”

2. Add Context
   Provide details to guide the response because the context ensures specificity and relevance.
   Example: “Summarize this article about AI advancements in 2023.”

3. Iterate and Improve
   Test your prompt and check if the response aligns with your goal. If not, adjust it.
   Original: “Explain AI.”
   Update: “Explain the basics of AI to a beginner in simple terms.”

4. Practice Makes Perfect
   Prompting is a skill don’t be afraid to experiment. The more you practice, the better your results will be.
