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.
