Good results come from iterating, not one perfect prompt

Expect to iterate. Each pass builds a better shared understanding of what you actually want.

• Brief the model the way you would brief a capable new colleague.
• Give appropriate context up front. Context is what the model sees in this conversation, and memory is a separate setting for what carries between them.
• Say what you do not want, as well as what you do.
• Ask for the simplest version that works, then iterate and build up from there.
