Episode notes
Use Role→Task→Context→Ask
- Start prompts by specifying a persona, the task, and relevant context before asking for an output format.
- Invite the model to ask clarifying questions and then iterate with chained prompts to deepen results.
Chain Prompts And Ask The Model To Rewrite
- Break complex problems into smaller conversational steps (chain prompting) instead of one huge prompt.
- If stuck, ask the model to help rewrite or improve your prompt and then refine the result.
Quality Over Minimal Prompts
- Good prompts are typically detailed but don't need to be enormous; Rajeev estimates about 300–400 words on average.
- More relevant information usually produces better, more specific outputs from answer-focused models.
