"Keep the structure, change the examples."

When AI nails the format but uses boring examples:

Don't rewrite from scratch. Tell it what to keep. Tell it what to change.

You're not starting over. You're refining.

Prompting is 20% of the value.

The other 80%:
→ Directing the output
→ Iterating on what you get
→ Organizing what works
→ Building reusable systems

Don't stop at the prompt. That's where it starts.

"What would a skeptic say about this?"

Ask AI to argue against its own output.

You'll find holes before someone else does. Makes your final work stronger.

Let AI be its own devil's advocate.

System prompts vs user prompts:

System prompt = standing instructions (always applies)
User prompt = single request (this conversation only)

Put your preferences in system. Put your task in user.

You don't have to repeat yourself every time.

"Show me 3 different versions of this."

One of the most useful follow-ups you can ask.

You're not stuck with version 1. You can always ask for options.

Pick the best. Combine elements. Or use one as a starting point.

When to start a new chat vs. keep going:

New chat:
→ Completely different topic
→ AI is stuck in a bad direction
→ Context is getting messy

Keep going:
→ Refining same output
→ Related follow-up questions
→ Building on previous work

AI gives you 10 outputs. 2 are great. That's the point.

Don't expect perfection on the first try. Expect options.

Generate quantity. Select quality. Edit what you pick.

You're not looking for THE answer. You're looking for raw material.
