Best Practices
- • Be specific: Add concrete details and requirements
- • Provide context: Include relevant background information
- • Use examples: Show what you're looking for
- • Iterate gradually: Make incremental improvements
- • Save good prompts: Keep effective messages for reuse
- • Edit early: Refine prompts before the conversation gets long
