What you'll learn
- How to write a prompt an AI will actually follow
- System prompts vs. user prompts, and when each matters
- Context rot, the smart zone, and when to start a fresh conversation
- Few-shot examples: when they help, when they're noise
- Iterating: diagnosing a bad response, and comparing two AI tutors to find out whose fault it is
- The common failure modes, and how to check an answer you can't verify yourself
- Pro techniques: step by step, roles, step-back, chaining, self-consistency
- Meta prompting: getting the AI to write and improve your prompts
- Bonus: writing feedback someone can act on, and reading a skill before you run it
