Prompting and AI Workflow Design

Module 09 Activity

Activity ID: PAW-M09-A01 Estimated active time: 40-50 minutes

Purpose

Three patterns for the tasks you actually repeat, in the standard shape. A pattern is a reusable structure with a known failure attached, not a phrase to copy.

Steps

  1. List your five most frequent AI-assisted tasks and group them into families.
  2. Take the three most frequent and start from the closest of the four family patterns.
  3. Fill slots, fixed rules, output spec, review level and known failure for each.
  4. Add a reason note to any rule that is not self-explanatory.
  5. Test each pattern on two different instances of its task.
  6. Generalise anything that turned out to be written for one instance.
