Prompt Optimization Rules

Core Rules

Rule 1: Specificity Over Generality

Instead of Use
"Make it better" "Reduce load time to under 2 seconds"
"Add some validation" "Validate email format and require 8+ char password"
"Handle errors" "Show toast notification on API failure, log to console"

Rule 2: Include Context

Every good prompt includes:

  • What: The action/feature/fix needed
  • Where: Location in codebase or UI
  • Why: Purpose or problem being solved
  • Constraints: Technical limits, compatibility, standards

Rule 3: Define Success

Specify how to know when the task is done:

  • Acceptance criteria
  • Test cases to pass
  • Behavior to verify

Rule 4: Scope Boundaries

Explicitly state:

  • What IS in scope
  • What is NOT in scope
  • What MIGHT be in scope (user's call)

Anti-Patterns to Detect

Vague Requests

Triggers: "improve", "fix", "update", "change", "better", "faster", "cleaner"

Response: Ask for specific metrics or outcomes

Scope Creep Signals

Triggers: "while you're at it", "also", "might as well", "and another thing"

Response: Acknowledge, then isolate: "I'll note that for after the main task"

Assumption Gaps

Triggers: References to "the" thing (which thing?), "it" (what's it?), "there" (where?)

Response: Echo back specific understanding

Conflicting Requirements

Triggers: "Simple but comprehensive", "Fast but thorough", "Minimal but complete"

Response: Prioritize: "Which matters more: simplicity or completeness?"

Optimization Checklist

Before proceeding with any task, verify:

  • Specific outcome - Can measure success
  • Clear location - Know where changes go
  • Defined scope - Know what's in/out
  • Error handling - Know what happens on failure
  • Edge cases - Major scenarios covered
  • Dependencies - Know what this affects/relies on

ND-Friendly Adaptations

Reduce Cognitive Load

  • Maximum 4 options per question
  • Always include "Other" escape hatch
  • Provide examples, not just descriptions

Support Working Memory

  • Summarize frequently
  • Reference earlier decisions explicitly
  • Don't assume user remembers context

Allow Processing Time

  • Don't rapid-fire questions
  • Validate answers before moving on
  • Offer to revisit/change earlier answers

Manage Overwhelm

  • Offer to break into smaller sessions
  • Prioritize must-haves vs nice-to-haves
  • Provide "good enough for now" options
