Module 03 Activity

Activity ID: PAW-M03-A01 Estimated active time: 35-45 minutes

Purpose

Context is the difference between a generically correct answer and one that fits your case. This activity produces a reusable package rather than a one-off prompt, which is the first portfolio artefact.

Steps

1. Choose a task you repeat, and sort every piece of information into public, fictional, internal or sensitive.
2. Build a substitution table for anything sensitive, and check whether re-identification is still plausible.
3. Fill the six-line context package.
4. Write the prompt using only what the package contains.
5. Run the trimming pass and record how many lines you removed.
6. Run the task both with a bare one-sentence request and with the package, and compare.

Evidence to hand in

• The four-way information sort.
• The substitution table.
• The filled context package.
• The prompt before and after trimming.
• Both outputs, with what differed.

Review checklist

• Nothing sensitive survived, and every substitution is marked.
• Every fact in the prompt earns its place — removing it would change a good answer.
• The prompt tells the tool what to do when something is missing.
• The trimmed prompt performs at least as well as the untrimmed one.
