Iterative Prompting: Improve AI Prompts Step by Step

Iterate Like a Pro

Great prompts are rarely written in one try. Treat prompting as a loop: write a prompt, read the result, spot what is off, and adjust one thing at a time.

If the answer is too long, add a length limit. If it misses the point, add context. If the format is wrong, add an example.

Changing one thing per round makes it clear which change actually helped.
