Working with the AI

Prompts that work

Describe shape, not words. Examples of good and bad prompts.

Three principles

  1. Describe the shape of the result, not the words it should contain.
  2. Name the table or field directly when it matters — “the customers table” beats “the data.”
  3. Iterate in small steps. One change per prompt makes it easy to undo.

Good vs bad

Tagging files and components

You can drop a file path into the prompt with @ — the agent will read that file before responding. Useful when you want to change something specific without describing it.
