Prompt = ordering coffee. The more specific, the better the result.

Specificity gets you what you want
Walking into a coffee shop and saying "give me a coffee" — you could get anything. A tiny Americano, who knows. But "hot oat milk latte, less sweet, chocolate drizzle" — exactly what you wanted.

AI isn't a friend — it can't read your mind. It only predicts from what you wrote. Vague prompt = generic answer.
5 Parts of a Good Prompt
A formula for any task
Prompt engineers use a 5-part structure. Not all parts are required, but the more you include, the more you control the output.
Don't memorize the order — ask yourself: "Does AI have enough info to answer the way I want?" If not, add what's missing.
Before vs After — Real Prompts

Three real use cases — comparing raw prompts to ones using the 5 parts.
Secret trick: ask AI to write the prompt for you — tell it what you want in plain English, then ask "how would you prompt this?" It knows prompts better than you do.
