Module 01 Summary

Module ID: PAW-M01

What this module established

A prompt is a description of work, not an incantation. The reason copied prompts fail is not that the wording is wrong for you — it is that they carry someone else's task, reader and standard.

Carry forward

• The four parts of any request: what the task is, what context it needs, what output is useful, and how a person will review it.
• A one-off prompt and a reusable workflow are different objects. Most value comes from the second.
• If you cannot say what the reader does after reading, no wording will rescue the request.

Before moving on

Move on when you can turn a vague request into a brief a colleague could predict the output from.
