Yes, spot on. However, this guide misses some sequential tactics in prompt writing that I find are a game-changer. I call it context priming. When you use a sequence of prompts going from one aspect to a deeper aspect, rather than just trying to create a detailed initial prompt to the point of completeness. I heard names like progressive prompting, prompt chain, etc. In my experience, it is one of the most important aspects of interacting with LLM-based stuff.

Yes, this is important. But this emerges naturally by interacting with the LLMs. I don't think it's necessary to do it on purpose. It overcomplicates the framework IMO! I hope it didn't come across has having to put all the context on just one prompt! It emerges through the conversation

This is a really good synopsis and I’m going to be keeping some of this in my back pocket going forward. A lot of your points are things I bring up all the time: AI is like a loyal assistant - I don’t trust it to send out a company wide email without review, but I sure do appreciate it drafting one for me.

Glad it resonated!

Why do tutorials for better prompting always feature a marketing mail or plan? Because it easy and safe?

Yes, like a hello world for this stuff haha
