How do you write a good prompt?
State what the AI should do, what evidence it can use and what the answer should look like. Add a reference when the format is hard to describe.
Describe the result you need
“Rewrite this” leaves several possible tasks open. Say who the text is for, what readers need to know and what format fits. Specify what must stay intact. If you are shortening a policy, require amounts, dates and exceptions to be preserved.
A prompt to try
“Draft an email of up to 100 words using the text below. The recipient has never heard of the course. Keep the course name and enrolment date exactly as written. End with one sentence about how to enrol. Write ‘information missing’ if the source has no enrolment link.” Then paste the public text.
Revise one instruction at a time
If the answer is too long, tighten the length requirement. If the AI invented a detail, clarify the source boundary. Run the same task again and compare that part. Keep the prompt that gave you an answer you could check with the least rework.
