1. What is the real value of a template?The review and safety steps live in the template rather than in your memory.It saves typing the same request twice.It produces more consistent wording.It can be shared with colleagues.

2. What should a template use in place of private details?Generic examples from a similar case.Blank spaces to be filled in later.Initials rather than full names.Placeholders that say what belongs in them.

3. Why keep templates short?Short templates are easier to store.Tools ignore instructions past a certain length.Templates are abandoned by length long before they are abandoned by quality.Long templates produce longer output.

4. When should a template not be used?When the task is being done for the first time.When the task is unusual, sensitive, or outside what the template was built for.When you are short of time.When a colleague has a similar template.

5. How should a template improve over time?One line added after each significant mistake, dated.A full rewrite every few months.By merging it with related templates.By adding the best parts of colleagues' versions.

6. How do you test whether a template line is earning its place?Ask whether it sounds important.Check whether other templates include it.Count how often the output breaks that rule.Delete it, run the template twice, and see whether anything got worse.

7. Why does using a writing template for research verification fail?Research needs a longer template.Writing templates cannot hold source markers.It will not ask where a claim came from.It produces output that is too short.

8. What is the danger of a large template library?It is harder to keep them all the same length.Searching it is what stops people using it at all.Templates conflict with each other.Older templates become unsafe.

9. Two failures of the same kind after you have fixed a template. What does that mean?The template is wrong for the task, not under-specified.The fix needs to be worded more strongly.The task needs a second reviewer.Another rule is cancelling out the fix.

10. Why should templates contain no real examples?Real examples make templates longer.Examples date quickly.The tool may reuse the example in its output.They get shared and copied, so everything in one should be safe to send on.
