Your prompt came back wrong. Bring it in. Four wrench questions fix almost everything.

BROKEN PROMPT

Help me with my CV

The AI guessed the goal. It rewrote everything when you only wanted one part fixed.

WRENCH QUESTION

What do you actually want?

REPAIRED PROMPT

Help me rewrite the summary at the top of my CV so it sounds confident but not braggy. Keep everything else as it is.

Say the goal out loud. AI can't read the version in your head.

BROKEN PROMPT

Give me dinner ideas

With zero details, you get the same answer everyone on Earth gets.

WRENCH QUESTION

What does it need to know?

REPAIRED PROMPT

Give me 5 dinner ideas for two people. One of us is vegetarian, 30 minutes max, and we are bored of pasta.

Context is the difference between advice for you and advice for anyone.

BROKEN PROMPT

Explain how to save money on groceries

You never picked a shape, so the AI picked one. It always picks essay.

WRENCH QUESTION

What should the answer look like?

REPAIRED PROMPT

Explain how to save money on groceries. Give me a short list of 5 tips, one sentence each, easiest first.

Size and shape are yours to set. Otherwise you get the essay.

BROKEN PROMPT

That's not what I meant

This tells the AI nothing. It knows it missed, it doesn't know where.

WRENCH QUESTION

What did it get wrong last time?

REPAIRED PROMPT

Close, but that email sounds too formal. My landlord is friendly, we joke around. Keep it short and casual, and drop the 'Dear Sir'.

Don't restart. Point at the miss and the second try lands.
