Session 2.2 – Prompt Check-Up
Module 2: How Prompts Improve with Practice | Duration: 3 hrs
Learning Objectives
- Perform a "health check" on any prompt before running it.
- Use a systematic checklist to ensure completeness.
Diagnostic Strategies
Just as a doctor checks vitals, you should check your prompt's vitals. Is it too long? Too short? Does it use ambiguous terms like "modern" or "engaging" without definition?
The 5-Point Checklist
- Role Defined? (e.g., "Act as a frontend engineer")
- Task Clear? (Single, actionable objective)
- Constraints Set? (e.g., "Do not use external libraries")
- Context Given? (Target audience, use case)
- Format Specified? (Code, text, markdown)
Session Summary
Using the checklist prevents simple errors. It forces you to think through the requirements before the AI even starts working.
