intentions to phrasings that reliably get them.

## The habits that matter more than phrasing

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="target" title="Name the audience">
    Nearly every prompt above improves by adding *"for \[specific people]"*.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="list" title="One instruction at a time">
    Combined requests get done badly and you can't tell which part went wrong.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="message-square" title="Stay in the thread">
    Follow-ups inherit everything. Starting fresh throws it away.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="hash" title="Ask for more options than you need">
    Ten ideas, five hooks. Range costs nothing and short lists play safe.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="layers" title="Turn context off, not just on">
    All five sources start on. Narrowing them is often what fixes drifting output. See
    [context](/chat/context).
