Module 2 Summary: Clear Instructions and Prompt Briefs

Module ID: AIT-M02 Status: Source package created; public shell pending

What learners should remember

A useful AI request is not a magic phrase. It is a clear brief.

The core prompt brief parts are:

• task;
• audience;
• context;
• constraints;
• output format;
• review criteria.

Examples can help when they show style or format. Too many examples can confuse the task. When important information is missing, the learner can ask the AI tool to ask questions before answering.

Options are useful for comparison, but the learner keeps the final decision.

Evidence produced

• Completed prompt brief template.
• Three rewritten weak prompts.
• One questions-before-answering prompt.
• One options prompt with decision criteria.
• Knowledge check score.

Ready for Module 3 when

The learner can:

• identify missing parts in a vague prompt;
• write a complete prompt brief;
• add useful examples without sharing private data;
• ask for clarifying questions before an answer;
• request options with criteria; and
• explain how they will review the output.

Next module

Module 3 teaches how to review AI output after it is generated. The learner will inspect facts, missing context, tone, privacy, bias, and the decision to keep, edit, verify, ask again, or reject.
