Prompting That Works: Write Requests AI Can Execute Well
Learn the craft of writing clear, effective prompts using the five-part framework: goal, context, format, constraints, and examples. Practice iterating on responses, grounding answers in real sources, and turning your best prompts into reusable skills and agents. Designed for everyone who wants better results from AI, faster.
Course outline
1
What Is a Prompt — And Why Yours Might Be Failing
Understand that a prompt is everything the model receives, and that vague instructions like 'make it better' fail because the model can only optimize what you name.
2
The Five-Part Framework: Goal, Context, Format, Constraints, Example
Learn the five components of a strong prompt and diagnose which one is missing when an answer falls short.
3
Show the Output Format With an Example
Practice specifying structure (tables, lists, JSON) and providing a short example so the model follows format precisely.
4
Ground Your Answers and Stop Invention
Learn to attach sources, restrict the model to provided material, and ask for citations to prevent hallucination.
5
Iterate in Place — Don't Start Over
Use targeted feedback within the same conversation to refine results without losing context, and know when to restate the goal.
6
Handle Big Tasks: Split or Delegate
Recognize when a task is too large for a single prompt and learn to break it into steps or hand it to Conductor.
7
Reuse What Works: Skills, Agents, and System Prompts
Turn proven prompts into reusable skills and agents so they are applied automatically and shared with your team.
