Not every piece of text you paste into a prompt is safe to treat as an instruction. Where that trust breaks down, and how to structure a prompt so it doesn't.

Six ingredients, combined into one prompt, that work for almost any task. Not another list of prompts to copy, the actual structure they're all built from.

The AI didn't get worse. The prompt was vague. Here's the actual difference between a request that gets a generic answer and one that gets a genuinely useful one.

Examples aren't free, they cost tokens and effort to write. Here's the actual decision behind when that cost is worth it, and when it just adds noise.
